Buddhist Psychology - #2

Healthy mind states have healthy roots:
love, generosity, and mindfulness.

From these three roots arise :
clarity,
composure,
insight,
joy,
adaptability,
confidence,
discretion,
and balance.

Each of these healthy mind states creates a happy and free mind.
They grow from mindful attention, and like sunlight on fog,
presence of these healthy states dissolves the unhealthy ones.

Almost all Buddhist teachings and trainings work to release unhealthy states and cultivate healthy states.
