If I want happiness, I simply need to stop causing myself suffering and cultivate happiness. How? It is a process of developing awareness, cultivating determination, and actually doing. But it is a long and difficult process. Sometimes I am so confused and do not understand these basic, simple facts. Instead, I follow delusions when they arise, give power to them, and expect to have happiness as the result. I continue to do non-virtuous actions and don’t know why I am unhappy.Thubten Pemo
