All the suffering we experience in this life, such as sickness, poverty, conflict, accidents, and harm from humans and non-humans, is the result of our own past negative karma.

Every day we are confronted with worries and difficult situations. We are constantly required to make decisions and choices that affect us now and in the future. Sometimes we have to balance many different interests and situations that cause us stress and anxiety. At times things may become overwhelming and we find it difficult to deal wisely with our daily situations.
The purpose of meditation is to make our mind calm and peaceful. If our mind is peaceful, we shall be free from worries and mental discomfort, and so we shall experience true happiness.
Happiness comes from inner peace. We can only develop inner peace by cultivating positive states of mind.
We learn to cultivate positive states of mind through meditation. Thus, through meditation, we will experience happiness and our daily life will become peaceful and very meaningful.
If our mind is peaceful, the quality of our daily life improves significantly. We are able to focus on daily events, make wise decisions, and aren't negatively affected by challenging situations.
Even if our external situation is difficult, we respond constructively and transform these situations into positive learning experiences.
Happiness is a state of mind, the real source of happiness therefore lies in the mind.
