Happiness of Others

Western psychology is all about one’s own happiness, doing what makes oneself happy; that is the main thing. Buddhism is not about one’s own happiness, it is about the happiness of others.

By practicing this way, thinking about the happiness of others, working for the happiness of others, you achieve two things: the happiness of enlightenment and temporal happiness—happiness in the future and happiness now.
