Mental suffering can only be reduced through adopting the correct mental
perspective. The more we are able to think from different perspectives,
the better equipped we will be to deal with our difficulties. Our mental
unhappiness can never be solved by wealth, possessions or medication.
The reason why we experience mental unhappiness is because of our
narrow-minded outlook. We tend to fixate on some small aspects of the
problem. When we think in such a way, the mind will always remain
narrow, tight and stressed. We need to widen our minds, make them more
expansive and relaxed by considering the problem from multi-faceted
angles.
Although it is difficult to experience immediate benefits from such
techniques in the mind-training instructions given here, if we continue
to listen, analyse critically and familiarise ourselves with the
teachings, we will definitely experience some positive benefits and
effects , and be able to reduce our mental suffering over time.
