How to be happy?

Many times experiencing innumerable suffering on life, we again wonder where happiness is , where we live forever and still not find it, Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh has given us a look of happiness. as shown below.

In each of us there is a concept of happiness. I think that happiness is like this or that, if it is not like this or so, then we conclude that we do not have happiness. So we are easily trapped in the concept of happiness of ourselves, and in many cases it is an obstacle to happiness.

For example, I want to pass a degree, and I think that without that degree I will never be happy. So, I'm trapped in a notion of happiness. When we have many opportunities for happiness, we lose because we frame our happiness on the idea of ​​the other. It is a desire, a desire for qualifications.

I heard a guy say, "The happiness of my life is to marry her, if she can not marry, that she is dead, she can not have happiness." In the notion of having to marry the other, marrying is not life without meaning.

Everything is tied up in the idea, in Buddhism called thought, perception of happiness, want to have countless conditions this condition to happiness.
In many prayers the Buddha has said: "The past has passed, the future is not yet, only a moment that we really live it is the present moment, not to seek happiness in the future, if we Bringing TAM back to the present moment, we will realize that we have more than enough conditions to live right now and HERE.

Once upon a time, there was a merchant who came to see the Buddha, accompanied by several hundred other merchants, the Buddha preached to them about the Dharma of the Buddha, the Buddha knew that these merchants had to think So much about the achievements in the future.

They do not have time for themselves and for those they love, so the Buddha said: "Do not seek happiness in the future. Happiness is available to you right now and here . " Now is very beautiful, the past has passed, the future is not yet, I only have the moment of real life is the present moment, if deep living can receive blue sky, white clouds, birds singing, pine flowers, flowers of the mysterious life. Is water in the mysterious, you can stay in the present to contact the glass of water? Or drink a glass of water to think about future projects. The legal residence is the art of living happy.

If the present happiness is certainly the future will be happy, but if there is no happiness in the present, the future is not happy.

For example, if you wash the bowl quickly to hold a cup of tea for happiness, when holding a cup of tea is also hastened to the future but forget to take a glass of tea.
