What is the Cause of Contentment Santutthi?

Friends:
What is the Cause of Contentment Santutthi?
The blessed Buddha once said:
Contentment is the highest Treasure!
Dhammapada 204
Please imagine a state, where one always is
Content
If always content, what would, one need, urge for or want? Nothing!

 
What is the cause of contentment?
Mutual joy with others success is the proximate cause of contentment...
Lack of Mutual joy is therefore the cause of
discontentment



A: When did you last rejoice happily in someone else’s success?
B: When did you last enjoy the calm peace of satisfied contentment?
State-A causes state-B.  Therefore: Non-state-A causes non-state-B...!



Mutual joy can be trained! Result => Calm Content!

Friendship is the
Greatest!
