"We often forget that happiness is not because we achieved what we don't have, but rather because we recognize and cherish what we have."

To the beginning of this article I borrow the words of John Stuart Mill: "I learned how to find happiness by limiting the desires rather than attempt to satisfy them." The satisfaction of desire is also a kind of happiness, but short-lived and difficult to reach, because we do not always achieve their desires. Moreover this desire to achieve, will arise in other desires, it is the rule of psychotherapy, a livery stable run by desires no stops. Find happiness by limiting the main desire is France's student voter education Buddhist minority.

Minimum education, student, according to tri Nguyen is low libido-know enough. France is in the field of ethics, lifestyle, is deeply experimental process of the Buddha. Undergo six years of ascetic seclusion, He gave up, switch to a new lifestyle, not so austere with himself, in the end is enlightenment as the Buddha, sanming. Enlightenment of awareness certificate validation, the principle of pratītyasamutpāda formed universe Xang; on the German border, is abandoning two passionate life form aberration in desire and austere ruin themselves. Therefore, minimum education tri University first of all is not a highly ascetic advocates pressed correctly as there is, that's just the shades of life, absolutely no rigid dogma to bind people, because talking know enough not to say how much is enough, as saying at least desires rather than say when low libido. Should the minimum education for student voter is targeting the inner thoughts rather than rely on external physical form.

Low libido, know enough is depending of circumstances and the ability of each person. We have the capability as long as the consent with that capacity. For example, we only have the ability to buy the motorcycle, we have fun using it. If we desire to exceed its capacity, will create dissatisfaction. So each person must know the amount of their power to decide your desires more or less. If s c his not enough that all the fact pursue those dreams madness then surely will himself the brain gauge.

Join the wish to facilitate the basis for discontent, because though there was much anymore, I still always find the bridge to be more, better. Modern quarrying greed to want and really not satisfied with this, and I always heard that the previous year's fashion fad was outdated, the item the previous year. But hardly anyone has the ability to buy things that they think I must have. Even when we were buying a lot of things, but they will become old or damaged. Or sometimes to see others have this, we're also demanding race for "by her sister by children". This can cause us to always unstable.

On the contrary, if I told myself, "what we currently have was good enough," then we will be in the heart of serenity. This does not mean that we will never buy more new things or is not in need of improvement in terms of technology. If we have a need for something new widgets or model brings greater efficiency, the stores have nothing is wrong at all, as long as we have enough money to buy. But although we have shops that are or not in the serene yet, because we will always be happy with what you are.

If there are likely to keep spending according to his needs, don't squander. Save also the living minimum education voters. We stores what is really essential, not shopping for spoiled, as to who or to brag. When spending something, think about those who are remaining difficulties and deprivation, to save his extravagant action.

The Buddha once the invitation about the life of boys at the House of a wealthy Prince, he named bodhi (Bodhi). Bodhi Rapture, cleaning the House clean and decorated nice. He spread a white cloth from the lane outside the House to greet the Buddha. When he came to himself, Prince Bodhi out nghinh catch, but came before the Buddha, fabric panels stopped three times, sometimes You step into Bodhi, You were standing silent, eyes look fake Religion A-nan. Understand the Buddhas, revere the author A-nan to speak with Prince Bodhi fabrics book store please go. The Buddha does not step up because he thought about the poor food, lack of lack of wear. This lofty deeds of the Buddha teaches us lessons on avoiding waste.

Know satisfaction with what we currently have is an indispensable quality in lifestyle loving, san sharing because people. When the urge to want, we have no true selfless spirit, simply because I could not share his desire for things for other people. For example take want the automobiles, try gathering power for enough money, then met profit relationship, hard to share to others, because of the desire to have spurred vehicle must get enough amount of area as quickly as possible. So where have participated, in which selfish wants. Where there is no want to take part in that altruistic. Want to join with the selfish, you're experiencing suffering and caused suffering. With the satisfaction of knowing enough, you're experiencing happiness and awarded happy.

Always praise, glory to those who have the will to strive and desire to get rich. This absolutely is not contrary to the spirit of minimum education tri, since this is the aspiration, desire for positive, enriched by the exceedingly tough, hardworking, intelligent and creative. The increase in Spending, the Buddha recommended we enriched with noble reason four: Create comfort for yourself and your family, to help relatives and friends, who support tough, donation the austerities.

As such, efforts to enrich not only bringing benefits for themselves but also contribute to social welfare. The fact the entrepreneur who played a major role in the creation of social welfare, they also create jobs for many people, contribute to promoting social development rich and strong.

In his book the story of small, large, have moral to this story:

A wealthy owners see a fishing boat edges are lazy sentence, shut the mouth pipe. The owner asked:

-Why didn't you work?

-Because I have enough question for today.

Why don't you add some sentences?

-More Questions then what would I do with them?

-You can make more money, with that money, you can buy a new motor for his boat, then go fishing in more distant waters. He will be caught more fish than and make more money. Then, you can add a boat anymore, hire a team caught going by yourself. And you will become rich, just like me.

-And then what would I do?

-You can watch to enjoy life, do what you love.

So, he thought what am I doing here? -The sentence glimpse and ask.

The story is often cited to articulate the spirit of minimum education tri, but I think the spirit is not the perfect sufficiency of tri, which only slab is an and there is extreme, because the minimum education for the student voter not selfish, just think to enjoy themselves. Minimum education tri University nor synonymous with lazy, lack of efforts. If we feel enough for yourself, strive for noble purposes is to help relatives and friends, who support hard misfortune, the donation austerities as trading post we just mentioned above.

Efforts to get rich by hands and minds with such noble goals worthy of honor and praise. Notably those redundant everything but always fractious anxiety, Lam when again lament, next to other people to pray more. The night can't sleep, disturbing to the hundreds of thousands of staff to achieve what was wanted, there are already more demanding, expecting this bridge despite gaining back pull more new desire, one born two and then three, born mess created the mood. People so greedy how NET security is the soul to enjoy life, to humanity?

There the couple below mount Putuo worked felling firewood, life is very poor. One day her husband dug in under a tree a La statue-Han in gold! His family became affluent wealth.

But he has yet to meet, during the fractious days of sadness, and he thus wife question: now what to eat, what to wear we have not had good grounds and again lack of tall doors, why he was so upset?

Angry husband: she is the woman generally know nothing! Eighteen statues of La-Han that I only get to have a statue. So seventeen statue La Han-rest are hiding? How can I be safe?

The greedy husband finally born illness and death with sadness.

If don't know happy with what we are, we do not have the ability to live happily in the present. Frederick Koening said: "we often forget that happiness is not because we achieved what we don't have, but rather because we recognize and cherish what we have." Let's get back to the present and to know with what we currently have is live brings happiness!END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.23/1/2016.MHDT.
