"We are here to receive peace and happiness in our mind by avoiding suffering, but first we have to recognize the cause of happiness. We have to understand what brings us happiness and what brings us suffering. This is extremely important to understand, or there is no way to prevent suffering and receive happiness in our mind.
In our dreams, happiness and small pleasures are created by our mind, and suffering and unhappiness are also produced by our mind."
-- Lama Thubten Yeshe, Nepal 1970's
