For as long as we seek fulfillment from external things, we will never find the deeply contented and happy mind we wish for. Buddha taught a series of natural virtues – positive, virtuous minds – which have the power to make our mind truly happy. Each Wednesday we will explore one of these virtues, and how we can cultivate the real causes of happiness in our busy life.
