In this video, Ringu Tulku Rinpoche talks about the importance of contentment in finding true happiness. He explains that desire is a form of suffering because it leads to dissatisfaction and never-ending wants. Instead, he suggests that being content with what we have and appreciating it leads to a state of mind where we can find true happiness.
Rinpoche emphasises that contentment doesn’t mean we can’t improve or learn more, but it means we are satisfied and grateful for what we have while striving to better ourselves. Join us in this video to learn more about contentment and its role in finding happiness.
