Actions for Happiness

09/05/2026

"Before we get too excited by the new digital and A.I. revolutions, let’s recognize that one thing hasn’t changed — our basic anxiety, our insecurity, our ignorance and our search for happiness. And so long as that exists, Buddhism has just as much to offer now as 2,600 years ago. In fact, because Buddhism is not bound by time, place, culture or geography, it can incorporate, adapt and speak to whatever the needs of any people and era are — including those of our A.I. age." — Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche

In this age of information overload, protecting your attention is guarding your heart. Consciously reducing your input may be more important than greedily collecting more teachings.

～ Kyabje Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche

在这个信息过载的时代，守护你的注意力就是在守护你的心。有意识地减少摄入，或许比贪婪地收集更多教言更为重要。

We all have the ability to love and be loved. When love comes, nothing can stop you. When fate comes to you, you have to learn to accept it. You may be sitting in Hong Kong now, but your lover is in Bolivia or Peru. Anything can happen. As I said before, this world is impermanent. Of course, love is a very, very beautiful thing, but when you look at your lover now, this may be the last time you meet in your life. If you have an open and tolerant mind, you will accept everything with tolerance, even if he likes to eat raw garlic, because you have the ability to accept everything; even if your lover falls in love with someone else the next day, you are fully prepared mentally. When you are mentally prepared and have the confidence to face everything, the other party becomes insecure. This is the best way to deal with it. It’s like going through a game. Basically, as long as we still have an obsession with feelings, something called “love” will come. When love comes to you, just accept it. But there is no need to be too persistent, because love also means that you will make a lot of compromises. Even with the person you love the most, it is difficult for us to compromise completely. Even if you can easily say that I really love you and I am willing to surrender to you completely, can you really do this? So it eventually became a negotiation. Therefore, love is a very auspicious and blessed word, so I sincerely hope that everyone can find their own love. — Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche 🙏🪷❤️😊

“The cause of all these sufferings is our fundamental insecurity. We are always wondering whether we exist or not. Our ego, or rather our attachment to the idea of self, is completely insecure about its own existence. Our ego may seem strong but it is actually quite shaky. Of course, we do not ask such questions consciously, but we always have a subconscious feeling of insecurity about whether we exist.

We try to use things such as friends, money, position and power, and all the everyday things that we do, like watching television or going shopping, to somehow prove and confirm our existence. Try sitting alone in a house and doing absolutely nothing. Sooner or later your hands will reach for the remote control or the newspaper. We need to be occupied. We need to be busy. If we are not busy, we feel insecure.

But there is something very strange in all this. The ego searches constantly for distraction, and then the distraction itself becomes a problem. Instead of helping us to feel reassured, it actually increases our insecurity. We get obsessed with the distraction and it develops into another habit. Once it becomes a habit, it is difficult to get rid of. So in order to get rid of this new habit, we have to adopt yet another habit. This is how things go on and on.” Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche.

Learning, reflection and meditation

Such is the strength of delusion and habitual tendencies that practicing Dharma might initially seem very hard; but these difficulties will gradually subside. Once you have understood the essential point of the teachings, you will experience no hardship or difficulty with the practice. Your efforts will bring you joy. It is like developing any skill - as you master the important points, it becomes progressively easier, you gain increasing confidence, and your capacity and endeavor keep on growing.

Whatever meditation or reflection you have done, it will never be wasted. The benefit it brings will be present in your mindstream at the time of your death, and will help you be reborn in a place where the Dharma flourishes, near an authentic spiritual teacher. Life after life, you will evolve from a mediocre into an average practitioner into an excellent one. The essence of learning is reflection, and the essence of reflection is meditation. As you go deeper into the meaning of the teachings, the wondrous qualities of the Dharma will become ever clearer, like the sun appearing ever brighter the higher you fly.

The sign that you have fully assimilated your learning of the Dharma is that you become peaceful by nature. The sign that you have assimilated your meditation is that you are free of obscuring emotions. As learning leads to reflection and reflection transforms into meditation, your eagerness for the deluded activities of this life will relax, and you will yearn for the Dharma instead.

Anything you do that is in accord with the Dharma, however small or trivial it may seem, will be beneficial. As the 'Sutra of the Wise and the Foolish' says:

Do not take lightly small good deeds,
Believing they can hardly help;
For drops of water one by one
In time can fill a giant pot.

– Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche

Matthieu Ricard is a remarkable figure who bridges modern science and Buddhist wisdom.
🌿 Who he is
Born in France (1946), son of philosopher Jean-François Revel
Earned a PhD in molecular biology before leaving science to follow the Dharma
Became a monk under great masters like Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche and Kangyur Rinpoche
Close student and translator for Dalai Lama
🧠 Science & Meditation
Matthieu Ricard became widely known through neuroscience research at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, where his brain activity during meditation showed unusually high levels of positive emotions and compassion. This led to the popular label “the happiest man in the world.”
📚 His teachings
His message is simple yet profound:
Happiness is a skill, not a condition
The mind can be trained through meditation
Altruism and compassion are the foundation of a meaningful life
🌍 Humanitarian work
He founded Karuna-Shechen, a nonprofit supporting education, healthcare, and social services in India, Nepal, and Tibet.
🪷 A reflection inspired by him
“Look within. Train the mind. When the mind is at peace, the world you experience becomes peaceful.”.

What drives someone to abandon a career in molecular biology — working under a Nobel laureate — to spend decades in the Himalayas? Matthieu Ricard, Buddhist ...

To understand life, we don’t need to go far—just reflect deeply.

The hospital reminds us that nothing is more beautiful than health.
The prison reminds us that nothing is more precious than freedom.
The cemetery reminds us that nothing is permanent—and that time is truly sacred.

Life is not meaningless—it is fragile, fleeting, and therefore priceless.

The ground we walk on today may one day become our resting place.
So don’t delay your kindness.
Don’t postpone your joy.
Don’t take this moment for granted.

Live gently. Live truthfully. Live now.

Because tomorrow is never promised. 🌿

In the teachings of Buddhism, this is understood through Dukkha—the subtle truth that all conditioned things are incomplete and ever-changing.
We spend much of our life searching for something that will finally satisfy us—through people, achievements, or experiences. And yet, even the most beautiful moments pass, leaving behind a quiet sense of “something missing.”
This is not a failure of life.
It is the nature of life.
When we deeply understand this, we stop demanding permanence from what is impermanent.
And in that moment, the heart relaxes.
What arises then is not excitement or intensity,
but a simple, steady contentment—
a peace that does not depend on things being perfect. Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse
