Eight Mindful Steps to Happiness



The Eight Mindful Steps to Happiness by Bhante Henepola Gunaratana is truly an easy-to-read book and engaging one as well. I'm still reading it to date.. reading it slowly so as to digest the meaning and instructions given..

One para i particularly like is on page 129. It says:

"As the Buddha expressed this idea:

Hatred is never overcome by hatred.
Only through loving-friendliness does hatred cease.
This is an eternal law."
