True Happiness in Life
The meaning of life lies not in enjoyment but in duties which are toward self, family, society, and even all sentient beings.
Buddhism believes that everyone is in close connection with nature and the world.
Such connection is highly profound and abundant as all sentient beings are interdependent with each other as well as with the environment.
Thus, the meaning of life rests with our duties toward all beings.
Learn to enjoy the things we ought to do.
Taking on duties is what gives life its significance, not a burden.
Take joy in doing things that are of help to others as what you do is valuable.
He who overemphasizes his own happiness often loses happiness as he feels the world is against him.
Whether we have a happy life depends on how we regard it.
If no one needs you to fulfill any duty, you may not have anyone to love or show gratitude toward.
So it is a blessing that we are able to take on duties.
人生真正的快乐
人生的意义在于责任，而不是享受。
对自己的责任，对家人的责任，对社会的责任，乃至对众生的责任。
佛法认为，每个人与自然、与世界都是息息相关的，
有着极为深层而丰富的联系，自他不二、依正不二，
因此人生的意义也就体现在我们对于万物的责任上。
要喜欢自己应该做的事。
承担责任是一个人生活的意义所在，而不是负担。
自己能够做一些事情，这些事情对别人有帮助，
这样自己的行为就是有价值的，要满怀喜悦来做。
太强调“自己的快乐”之人，处处觉得外境在触逆自己，
反而会失去快乐。
人生是否快乐，取决于我们怎样去看待它。
如果没有人需要你尽责任，那也就意味着自己没有所爱、所感恩的人了，
能够承担责任，是我们的福报。
