From the Buddhist perspective, we dive into the difference between fleeting joy and ultimate, lasting happiness — the kind that arises not from possessions or status, but from awakening, inner peace, and daily mental cultivation.\n\nYeshi shares powerful insights on:\n- Why chasing external pleasures only brings temporary satisfaction\n- The role of meditation as a habit of the heart and mind\n- How your internal world shapes your external reality\n- The Buddhist view on fitness of the mind, not just the body\n\nWhat it means to build a “clean mind” as the foundation for a clean life\n\nA humble yet profound reminder that happiness is already within us — waiting to be remembered."}
