Buddha Quotes about Happiness
To share happiness, and to have done something good before leaving this life is sweet.
Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without. It can be argued that peace and happiness comes from the subjective internalised perspective of realizing things could be worse and being grateful they aren't. The alternative view that peace and happiness comes from the objective external perspective of having more and better things than at present, while important for growth, can be a never-ending source of jealousy, dissatisfaction and disappointment. A balance of the two, where people are grateful for what they have while striving for more seems the best blended perspective.
A disciplined mind brings happiness.
The mind is the source of happiness and unhappiness.
Health is the first benefit. Content is the first fortune. Friendliness is the first kindness. Nirvana is the first happiness.
Speak or act with a pure mind, and happiness will follow you as your shadow, unshakable.
No one can escape death and unhappiness. If people expect only happiness in life, they will be disappointed.
Happiness never decreased by being shared.
When you come upon a path that brings benefit and happiness to all, follow this course as the moon journeys through the stars.
All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If people speak or act with evil thoughts, pain follows them. If people speak or act with pure thoughts, happiness follows them, like a shadow that never leaves them.
