The Principles of Happiness

I introduced the Principles of Happiness as concrete practices for the exploration of Right Mind. In answer to the question What does the exploration of Right Mind mean? I would reply, It is an exploration of the Principles of Happiness. By the Principles of Happiness, I mean the principles that assure your happiness if you focus on exploring them and you endeavor to practice them. The Principles of Happiness include different principles, the first of which is the Principle of Love, the second the Principle of Wisdom, the third the Principle of Self-Reflection, and the fourth the Principle of Progress. Of course I have talked about various other principles; there are an abundance of ways to bring people happiness.

I have taught the importance of following these four tenets, explaining that if in your explorations of Right Mind you constantly keep these principles to the fore, you will not wander from the path and will be able to return to the heavenly world after death. In these explorations, you will even be able to endeavor to become an angel of light. This is why I tell the members of our Institute to endeavor to explore Right Mind, to find their Buddha-nature, the divine nature within, and to practice the four principles of love, wisdom, self-reflection and progress as concrete goals in their daily lives.
