Description

Contents

We all just want to be happy, right? This book reveals that the true secret to attaining happiness has everything to do with shifting our focus from ourselves to others. According to Dzigar Kongtrül, author of It’s Up to You, when our natural intelligence and innate compassion are sparked by Buddhist meditation and contemplation, we discover insights into what true happiness means—and how to achieve it. The longing for happiness expresses the great natural potential of the heart and mind, and turns us toward our innately positive attitude. Kongtrül shows that when we include others in our wish for happiness, we move toward joy and contentment based on selflessness and the concern for others’ well-being.
