HOW DO WE ACHIEVE HAPPINESS?

Wenda20170910A 05:23
(Master Jun Hong Lu’s Call-In Radio Program)

Caller:  Master Lu, everyone aspires for happiness. Just how do we achieve it?

Master Jun Hong Lu:  It’s very simple. As long as we feel happy in our hearts, we have achieved happiness, and vice-versa. What is happiness?  This feeling inside of us is a type of contentment, something we achieve through our hearts.  When we feel the joy of doing something, this is happiness. We perceive a mother giving birth to be in pain, but on the other hand the mother only feels happiness! 

Caller:  I understand.  Is it true we need to keep away from bad habits in order to achieve happiness?

Master Jun Hong Lu:  That is correct. A happy person is one who stays away from forming bad habits.
