- Teachings Of The Buddha: The Way Of Practice Ch.1: Ⅱ. The Good Way of Behavior 9.2-3
One should get rid of a selfish mind and replace it with a mind that is earnest to help others. An act to make another happy inspires the other to make still another happy, and so happiness is born from such an act. Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.
