"One should understand that, of the sacred teachings of the Thus Come One, there are those that are preached 'in accordance with the minds of others,' and those that are preached 'in accordance with the Thus Come One's own mind.' Thus, when a parent yields to the will of his or her child, that is a case of the former. But when the child complies with the will of the parent, that is the latter. All the other sutras are examples of preaching in accordance with the minds of others, because, when expounding them, the Buddha adjusted himself to the minds of all other living beings. But the Lotus Sutra is an example of preaching in accordance with the Buddha's own mind, because in it the Buddha had all living beings comply with his own mind."

the Buddha's Mind

"There is a Thai saying: 'False happiness makes people become haughty and arrogant. Real happiness makes people joyful and fills them with wisdom and compassion.' *
"These words may seem simple, but they are actually very profound. False happiness is superficial happiness, deriving from external sources. Real happiness is happiness that wells up from inside, from the innermost depths of our being—the ultimate form of which is revealing our inner Buddhahood.
"Real happiness comes from the desire to become a better person. In other words, it is human revolution."
