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 ever want? Nothing!
:-)
What
is the cause of contentment?
Mutual joy with other's success is the proximate cause of
contentment...
Lack of
Mutual joy is therefore the cause of
discontentment...
Mind Mechanics:
A:
When did you last rejoice by embracing someone else's good success?
B:
When did you last enjoy the calm peace of satisfied contentment?
State-A=rejoicing causes => state-B=contentment..
A: When were you last envious & jealous at someone else's good success?
B: When did you last experience the itch of dissatisfied
discontentment?
State-A's-opposite=envy causes => state-B's-opposite=discontentment..
Mutual joy can be trained! Result => Calm Content!
Enjoy
Elevated Rejoicing Mutual Joy! It cures!
When providing the cause, one
gains the effect:
Calm content satisfaction :-)
