What is the fundamental root of happiness?

To be calm inside of self.

On what is that dependent?

                Nothing.

How, then, does it arise?

                Focus on breath.  Keep it simple.

Notice and don’t believe the agitation.

                It passes away.

Calm remains.

                Calm requires no predecessor.

Agitation requires being stirred up.

                Make less effort, then.

Simply focus on the calm breath.

                That simple.

If you believe your mind, it races away with you.

                Why would you do this?
