Peace of Mind 心の平和

"If we have peace of mind, we’ll always feel happy. Deceiving ourselves that money is the source of happiness, we won’t."
(From His Holiness the Dalai Lama's tweet on September 6, 2013)

心の平和があれば、私たちは常に幸福感を得られるでしょう。お金が幸福の源であると自分自身を欺くなら、幸福感を得られないでしょう。(超訳)

Peace of mind arises from compassion, or warm heart. Self-centered greed causes jealousy, distrust, suspicion, fear, loneliness, insecurity and anxiety. (My commentary)

心の平和は、思いやり、即ち、温かい心から生じます。自己中心的な強欲は嫉妬、不信、疑い、恐れ、孤独、不安、心配の原因となります。(解説)
