[mind] 健康的心態看世界是快樂的基礎

健康的心態看世界是快樂的基礎

The book[1] mentioned: A healthy perspective really is the foundation of joy and happiness because the way we see the world is the way we experience the world. Changing the way we see the world in turn changes the way we feel and the way we act, which changes the world itself. Or, as the Buddha says in the Dhammapada, "With our mind, we create our own world."

如何降低憂慮和煩躁?   -- 達賴的作法是用更寬的角度來看事情降低憂慮和煩惱
For every event in life, there are many different angles. When you look at the same event from a wider perspective, your sense of worry and anxiety reduces, and you have greater joy. ... "reframe more positively" ... wider contact and new relationships, less formality and more freedom to discover the world and learn from others.
