Finding Happiness through Correct Imagination

The mind is rich with creative power. Every day, in fact, our mind creates a multitude of realities, each attended by various emotions and experienced in diverse ways. These may bring us a sense of joy and freedom, but when our mind is governed by fear, anger or confusion, we create for ourselves a dark and negative world. Buddha taught how we can engage the imagination to see far beyond the confines of our ordinary thinking, and to move us into extraordinary realms of possibility. If we learn to join our imagination with wisdom or love we can create and inhabit a world full of joy and meaning. The truth is, everything begins in the mind with our thoughts and our imagination – including us!
