Sogyal Rinpoche ~ Transforming our perception

When the Buddha was asked to essentialize his teachings, he said:
"Commit not a single unwholesome action, Cultivate a wealth of virtue, To tame this mind of ours, This is the teaching of the Buddha."
In fact, the whole point is to tame, or transform, this mind of ours because utimately, it’s how you think.
Buddha also said: “We are what we think, all that we are rises with our thoughts, with our thoughts we make the world.”
This means it’s up to us. Happiness does not exist objectively. It’s subjective to one’s experience. Happiness and the causes of happiness are present in ourselves, in our mind and heart.
This teaching by Sogyal Rinpoche was given in California, 25th November, 2007

Reality is distorted by our negative thinking. It is good to take up 'mental diet' of positive thinking. People are good. Please start laughing exercise. One can learn various laughing exercises in KZbin. When you have pessimistic thought, go out for a walk and think good thoughts!
