His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet, Jonathan Sacks, Et Al. — Pursuing Happiness by On Being Studios published on 2014-09-24T22:47:24Z The XIV Dalai Lama seems to many to embody happiness — happiness against the odds, a virtue that is acquired and practiced. Before a live audience in Atlanta, Georgia, Krista had a rare opportunity to mull over the meaning of happiness in contemporary life with him and three global spiritual leaders: a Muslim scholar, a chief rabbi, and a presiding bishop. An invigorating and unpredictable discussion exploring the themes of suffering, beauty, and the nature of the body.

There is only what passes for Happiness, which has been put together by thought and emotions, which are the reactions of the past conditioning of the brain. thought is always limited and the limited is incapable of ever giving birth to that which is not limited, which is Happiness. You can invite pleasure, but you can not invite Happiness. Happiness comes of its own when you are not there. Total Freedom from the illusion of the I, the me, the self, the ego, the so-called Mind, the so-called Heart, the so-called Soul, the so-called True Self or Higher Self, is the beginning of True Happiness for the very first time in each and every moment of daily life. It is the end of inner conflict, violence and suffering. It is the beginning of Love and Wisdom. 2015-12-07T22:29:49Z Comment by JacobsLadder13 Be Open. Be not afraid. There is no reason why you need to waste another day trapped in the Matrix of self-deceptions. You were ready ever since at least the age of 13. This is NOT an intellectual process. It is an Action...One Action…with all of your being. The Seeing is the Doing. The first step is the last step. It can all be finished by the time the Sun rises tomorrow. It takes time to get up to the right altitude and to walk to the door of a plane, but it takes only a second to jump. 2015-12-07T22:29:09Z Comment by JacobsLadder13 This is my gift to you.
