私たちは、何かを行ったり、達成したり、作り上げたり.…そうし た時にだけ幸せを見つけ、幸せと感じることができると考えていま す。
しかし、幸福は追い求められているときには現れません。
幸福を達成するための努力は必要ではありません。
幸福はありのままの状態です。
すべてをそのまま、ありのままにするとき、幸福への条件が開かれ るのです。
人生には常に、良い時とそうでない時がありますが、人生という偉 大なゲームにおいて、気づきを持って観るなら、幸福な瞬間は常に 存在しています。例えば、どんよりと曇った日にタンポポを見つけ てうれしく思うように。
幸福はすべての人の目の前にあります。しかし、それがそうあって ほしいという期待や欲求、夢があるため、しばしば見えないのです 。
幸福を追求する必要はありません。
それはすでに存在しているのです。
In pursuit of happiness.
We have an idea that when we just get this done or achieved this or made this or .......
Then - and only then - we can find and feel happiness.
But happiness doesn’t show up when being chased.
Happiness requires no effort to achieve. Happiness is a state og being. A condition that is opened for us when we dare to be with everything that is - exactly as it is. When we dare to acknowledge that life will always contain both good days and not so good days, but that in life's great game there will always be moments of happiness when we look with awareness. E.g. being grateful looking at a dandelion on an overcast day.
Happiness is here for everyone, right in front of us. But often we don’t see it because of our expectations, demands and dreams of how it should look in our edition/mindset.
You don't have to go pursuing happiness.
It’s already there.
