It's freezing cold in Delhi but this afternoon my heart was warmed during teachings with His Holiness the Dalai Lama. His Holiness spoke about happiness and just being in his presence I felt happy! Happiness can be cultivated through training the mind and compassion not on external factors and compassion deals with connection. He told a story about a Monk who lived in a cold mountain cave for 5 years never having one hot meal. When he met this Monk he asked him what practice he did during those five years and the Monk shared that he meditated on love. His Holiness said that the eyes of this monk reflected his heart. Of course, when I finally made it home this evening there was no power and I was freezing cold. I had to wait for two hours in the cold for the electrician to come but thankfully I used the time to meditate on love--soon my shivers stopped and my heart warmed :)
