More quotes by Matthieu Ricard
Anyone can be happy by simply training their brain.
Matthieu Ricard
We try to fix the outside so much, but our control of the outer world is limited, temporary, and often, illusory.
Matthieu Ricard
Happiness is the result of inner maturity. It depends on us alone, and requires patient work, carried out from day to day. Happiness must be built, and this requires time and effort. In the long term, happiness and unhappiness are therefore a way of being, or a life skill.
Matthieu Ricard
Whatever you train, you change your brain.
Matthieu Ricard
You can't be at the same time a spiritual master and someone who is always angry. It doesn't work.
Matthieu Ricard
I got really involved in science research and the science of meditation.
Matthieu Ricard
While it may be difficult to change the world, it is always possible to change the way we look at it.
Matthieu Ricard
[You] can dramatically change [your emotions] to be more altruistic, more loving, more compassionate, more attentive, and especially to have an inner sort of confidence and strength that you know that you have the resources to deal with whatever comes your way.
Matthieu Ricard
Enlightenment is eliminating mental confusion, eliminating hatred, jealousy, mental toxins, cravings. That's very simple and straightforward. Whether you can do it or not is another matter.
Matthieu Ricard
Negative emotions like hatred destroy our peace of mind.
Matthieu Ricard
There is definitely openness to others' suffering that is dealt not with distress but with compassion.
Matthieu Ricard
The mind is malleable. Our life can be greatly transformed by even a minimal change in how we manage our thoughts and perceive and interpret the world. Happiness is a skill. It requires effort and time.
Matthieu Ricard
Authentic happiness is not linked to an activity, it is a state of being.
Matthieu Ricard
There is no such thing as good and bad in an absolute sense. There is only the good and bad- the harm in terms of happiness and suffering- that our thoughts and our actions do to ourselves and others.
Matthieu Ricard
You're not insensitive or indifferent, but you're also not vulnerable to the upheavals that cause emotional stress because you can buffer that... So that's the result of meditation you could call that emotional balance.
Matthieu Ricard
Placebos are like the lollipop of optimism, but we can do much better by dealing directly with the mind... And it works!
Matthieu Ricard
If you don't have altruism, inner strength, inner peace, attention, then it's a trauma. It makes a difficult life for you and for others.
Matthieu Ricard
The basic root of happiness lies in our minds outer circumstances are nothing more than adverse or favourable.
Matthieu Ricard
Happiness is a state of inner fulfillment, not the gratification of inexhaustible desires for outward things.
Matthieu Ricard
The ultimate reason for meditating is to transform ourselves in order to be better able to transform the world.
Matthieu Ricard
