happiness

Lohbado reflect on grandmother's advice: an important ingredient of happiness is to care about others. Wish that all beings may be happy. To be totally self-centred, or jealous often leads to misery. The anecdote of the blind man is adapted from Zen Flesh, Zen Bones: A collection of Zen and Pre-Zen Writings complied by Paul Reps, story 27, the sound of happiness.
