Matthieu Ricard
Mattiheu Ricard, French Buddhist monk who lives in a hermitage in the Himalayas, a beautiful and remote place on earth. Despite this, the outside world might affect them without mental self control.
When Mattiheu was young he studied molecular biology at the Institute Pasteur in Paris, but the ways of life led him to be a Buddhist monk.
The main theme of the exposition is happiness. Mattiheu explains that people often confuse happiness with pleasure and therefore is best to seek personal well being.
For someone, the definition of happiness is to remember pleasant moments from the past or pursue a better future, but others think that they live with intensity the present is desirable.
Wellness only achieved through internal individual work, shaping our mind, looking inside ourselves and not in material things outside.
Only with experience and time, molding the mind, it is possible to achieve what some exceptional monks get, however this available to everyone to be satisfied and happy living each his life.
In summary, we should be happy with ourselves looking for our welfare beginning with ourselves, performing acts of generosity without seeking external rewards. Knowing that life is full of ups and downs, we face with peace and serenity to be happy.
