Yay! It works!!

My bro just came back from a 1month retreat and i think it was truely beneficial. He gave me a good Dharma talk just now! I think it is really good. He just told me about the benefit of having good thoughts, positive thoughts. Pure and simple but with far reaching effects.

The Buddha said,
1. Prevent unwholesome thoughts from arising
2. Reduce unwholesome thoughts which have already arisen
3. Develop wholesome thoughts and emotions that have not yet arisen
4. Strengthen wholesome thoughts and emotions that have already arisen

Simple right? If we engage in this practice day in and day out. Then I do surely think we will become much happier people. :)
