THE ESSENCE OF HAPPINESS When we speak of a calm state of mind or peace of mind, we shouldnt confuse that with a totally insensitive, apathetic state of mind. Having a calm or peaceful state of mind doesnt mean being totally spaced out or completely empty. Peace of mind or a calm state of mind is rooted in affection and compassion. There is a very high level of sensitivity and feeling there. As long as there is a lack of the inner discipline that brings calmness of mind, no matter what external facilities or conditions you have, they will never give you the feeling of joy and happiness that you ate seeking. On the other hand, if you posses this inner quality, a calmness of mind, a degree of stability within, then even if you lack various external facilities that you would normally consider necessary for happiness, it is still possible to live a happy and joyful. By H H 14th the Dalai Lama.
