The Secret to Happiness According to the Dalai Lama

According to the Dalai Lama the secret to happiness comes from  "One, warm heartedness. That brings inner strength, more self confidence. That reduces fear, that reduces suspicion. So we need friendship, friendship entirely based on trust. So that's one thing. Then in order to pay more attention to these things, you see, we must use our intelligence in order to know the reality more holistically. So a combination of warm heartedness and sharp intelligence. Combine these two things, then your life becomes more healthier, more wiser."

So really the recipe for true happiness is simple: add together good friendships warm heart, and a good mind, and stir!
