THE TRUTH ABOUT HAPPINESS
I was on a road trip to the forest with my friend Becky, when she told me something she’d recently learned.
“We often think that we’re happy when we relax, like watching a favorite TV show, for example,” Becky said, her hands steady on the steering wheels, eyes fixed on the road ahead.
“But research shows that we’re most happy when we’re working on something meaningful to us, when we’re in flow.”
I think that’s why so many of us are feeling unhappy. Despite our nice apartment and our good salary, we feel “something is missing.”
Barbara Sher, the most candid self-help author I know, advised:
“Don’t fool yourself by making lists in your head of all the great things in your life. Happy people don’t have to make lists.”
I remember laughing out loud when I read this.
This advice is controversial. Every guru is telling us to practice gratitude. “Make a list of 10 things you’re grateful for every day!”
While I believe there is a virtue in this practice, I also see the truth in Barbara Sher’s advice.
The discontent you feel is valid. You’re not being difficult, spoiled, or ungrateful. This pain is your soul calling you to where you were born for.
My coach Bev Barnes, founder of the Soul’s Calling Academy, calls this Divine Discontent.
Don’t let gratitude practice, or any other spiritual practice, to numb this pain, to muffle this call.
𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐞𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞.
Be honest with yourself and admit what isn’t working.
So stop running away. Feel the angst, the emptiness, the frustration.
Then ask your heart:
“What is the one tiny thing I can do to start finding the work I belong?”
And listen when it whispers the answer.

practice gratitude 在 Leica Camera Facebook 的最佳解答
Congratulations to Arzo Zaran (@LifeViaLeica) for being chosen as August's winner of our Leica x Matt Day "Gratitude of the World" photo contest:
"Gratitude to the Universe for the privilege of having a LGBTQ family. First generation Afghan and Indian, [we] get to have something we would not have had if it wasn’t for our parents giving up their life so we can have a better one. Motherhood.” -Arzo Zaran
"I love the photo, it’s a great moment with a beautiful backlight, and the sentiment behind the submission is huge. As of this week, we’re seeing headlines that show how much progress we still need to make in the US, but it’s great to see stories like this that show the beautiful lives people can have here that they couldn’t have otherwise. That to me is what the practice of gratitude is all about!" - Matt Day

2017「福慧傳家」方丈和尚果東法師新春祝福
For 2017, Dharma Drum Mountain has chosen “Bring blessings and wisdom home” as its annual theme. Ven. Guo Dong, abbot president of DDM, urges us to look after ourselves with wisdom and a mind of gratitude while applying compassion and practicing giving to care for our family and the surrounding environment. He also encourages people to practice the bodhisattva path by taking the thoughts and actions of all beings as the family, and then progress from smaller to bigger, from inside to outside, cultivating blessings and wisdom, transmitting the mind of wisdom to our future generations.

practice gratitude 在 玳瑚師父 Master Dai Hu Youtube 的最佳解答
三月初,連續兩個周末飛去臺灣朝聖。這兩次參加法會,很感動,因爲根本上師,蓮生活佛,的威德力能攝召萬人從世界各地,四面八方來,又能夠傳那麽多法,真的達到密法廣傳。唯有佛才能有如此廣大的攝召力。
除了感動以外,還萬分讚嘆根本上師的功力已經到了爐火純青的地步。吾辛苦地出國去求法,就是為了能夠好。不只是要自己好,還希望有更大的能力幫助有緣衆生和吾一樣地好。 妳你的命再好,也只不過是一刹那的好而已,沒有學佛沒有用,因爲妳你還有業障還沒消。要永恒地好,必須要學佛。
學佛就是要學佛的智慧,以佛的智慧,來知道什麽對什麽錯,然後才能夠走在正確的道路上。學佛不是要你變成一個無情的人,你學會了,你還是要懂得報恩,要去度你的家人,因為他們也是衆生。
祝 蓮生活佛 佛体安康。
The first 2 weekends this month saw me jetting off to Taiwan and participating in two puja ceremonies. It was extremely moving to be able to make these two pilgrimage trips as I got to witness the august power of my Root Guru, Living Buddha Lian Sheng, that drew thousands of followers from all over the world. He transmitted numerous Tantric Dharma, leading to its propagation on an unprecedented scale. Only a true Buddha will have such a wide wielding appeal to sentient beings.
Being deeply touched aside, I am truly in awe and praise of my Root Guru for having such esteemed Dharma prowess at its peak. I made so much effort to go abroad to pursue the Dharma so that I can have eternal blessings. Not just for myself but to have greater ability to help all sentient beings I have affinity with. Regardless of how blessed your current lives might be, they are but only fleeting moments. It is futile if you do not follow the Dharma as your negative karma has not been cleansed and is just waiting to happen. To be eternally blessed, you need to practice the Dharma.
Learning the Dharma means learning the wisdom of the Buddha and to use this Wisdom to differentiate the right from the wrong and thus walk on the correct path in life. Learning the Dharma is not going to transform you into a cold heartless person. In fact, once you have a good understanding of it, you must express your gratitude and bring salvation to your family, for they are sentient beings too.
