Lesson 148

Happy to be without malice!

Excerpt

“How sweet the solitude of the peaceful, of him who has heard and perceived the Truth! Happy to be without malice! Restraintful towards all beings! Happy are the passion-free! Happy he who overcomes Desire! To have removed the notion ‘I am’, that is the supreme joy!”

✨ To meditate on today

According to the Udāna, happiness comes from a heart without malice, restrained toward all beings and freed from the notion “I am”, that is, from attachment to the self. Today, each time a harsh thought about someone arises, gently replace it with a wish for their good.
