True happiness comes from inner peace rather than external circumstances. Gen-la Kelsang Dekyong explains that while we often try to manipulate external conditions like jobs, relationships, or possessions to find happiness, these cannot bring lasting contentment unless our mind is peaceful. She introduces six spiritual practices taught by Buddha—Moral Discipline, Giving, Patience, Effort, Meditation, and Wisdom—with special emphasis on the first three. The teaching emphasizes that developing inner peace is a gradual process of cultivating positive mental habits while reducing negative ones like anger, jealousy, and greed.
