What is the Cause of Contentment
(Santutthi) ?
The
blessed Buddha once said:
Contentment
is the highest Treasure!
Dhammapada
204
Please imagine a state, where one always is
Content…
If always content, what
would, one need, urge for or want? Nothing!
What
is the cause of contentment?
Mutual joy with others success is the proximate cause of
contentment...
Lack of
Mutual joy is therefore the cause of
discontentment…
A:
When did you last rejoice happily in someone else’s success?
B:
When did you last enjoy the calm peace of satisfied contentment?
State-A causes state-B. Therefore: Non-state-A causes non-state-B...!
Mutual joy can be trained! Result => Calm Content!
How?
