Matthieu Ricard Quotes:
Ocupation: Monk
Life: b. February 15, 1946
Birthday: February 15
Happiness is not the endless pursuit of pleasant experiences - that sounds more like a recipe for exhaustion - but a way of being that results from cultivating a benevolent mind, emotional balance, inner freedom, inner peace, and wisdom. Each of these qualities is a skill that can be enhanced through training the mind.
