Understanding the Essence of Happiness

Happiness is often mistakenly believed to stem from external objects and achievements, such as relationships or material possessions. However, this mindset leads to disappointment because happiness does not come from these external sources. Instead, understanding happiness requires recognizing its inherent definition, which is focused on the one-pointedness of the mind. This means that true happiness is achieved through being fully engaged in an activity, not by the objects or circumstances that surround us.
