Sustainable happiness : the mind science of well-being, altruism, and inspiration
\"Today's greatest health challenges, the so-called diseases of civilization--trauma, depression, obesity, cancer--are now known in large part to reflect our inability to tame stress reflexes gone wild and to empower instead the peaceful, healing and sociable part of our nature that adapts us to civilized life. The same can be said of the economic challenges posed by the stress-reactive cycles of boom and bust, driven by addictive greed and compulsive panic. As current research opens up new horizons of stress-cessation, empathic intelligence, peak performance, and shared happiness, it has also encountered Asian methods of self-healing and self-transformation more effective and teachable than any known in the West. Sustainable Happiness is the first book to make Asia's most rigorous and complete system of contemplative living, hidden for centuries in Tibet, accessible to help us all on our shared journey towards sustainable wellbeing, altruism, inspiration and happiness\"-- Provided by publisher.

Sustainable Happiness
Today's greatest health challenges, the so-called diseases of civilization-depression, trauma, obesity, cancer-are now known in large part to reflect our inability to tame stress reflexes gone wild and to empower instead the peaceful, healing and sociable part of our nature that adapts us to civilized life. The same can be said of the economic challenges posed by the stress-reactive cycles of boom and bust, driven by addictive greed and compulsive panic. As current research opens up new horizons of stress-cessation, empathic intelligence, peak performance, and shared happiness, it has also encountered Asian methods of self-healing and interdependence more effective and teachable than any known in the West. Sustainable Happiness is the first book to make Asia's most rigorous and complete system of contemplative living, hidden for centuries in Tibet, accessible to help us all on our shared journey towards sustainable well-being, altruism, inspiration and happiness.

Sublimination-Tapping and Channeling Flow
In general, all systems of optimal integral process perfection stage involve the preliminary process of controlling the vital energies flowing through the two side channels, (called) luscious and succulent, and redirecting them into the central channel, (called) released. This is indispensable. There are numerous means for accomplishing this, based on the traditions of the Indian great adepts, who drew from the various tantric systems ... When these energies enter the central channel the four blisses are induced, and one cultivates meditation on the basis of these in such a way as to give rise to the innate wisdom of the great seal.

Inspiration-Turning Bliss to Light
(Aryadeva says) in the Integrated Practices that, if you possess the intuitive wisdom of realizing freedom of mind through the process of knowing the instinctual natures and the three luminances, at the time of the homogenous order (of four bliss-voids), you will dissolve the wind energies that move the virtuous and nonvirtuous natural instincts and the voids will dawn in sequence and you will enter into clear light transparency.

Introduction
And now, I think, the meaning of the evolution of civilization is no longer obscure to us. It must present the struggle between Eros and Death, between the instinct of life and the instinct of destruction, as it works itself out in the human species.
Book Chapter
Self-Analysis, Insight, and Freedom
Apart from the discrimination of elements, there is no way to eliminate the contaminants (that drive the cycle of stress and trauma), and it is because of these contaminants that the world drifts in the ocean of (compulsive) existence. So it is with a view to this discrimination that the scientific teaching was proclaimed (by the Buddha).

The Art and Science of Reconstructing Life
Regarding that (purification of our ordinary perception of the life-cycle), a person who has previously collected the evolutionary action which is the cause of taking birth in the womb dies and attains the between state; then the between-state being enters the womb of the mother and, having remained there, finally gets born outside; then having taken a wife he performs the deeds of having sons and daughters, (so) having taken (all of those ordinary life-cycle) things as the objects of correspondence, it is in correspondence with those that one meditates the Creation Stage.

De-Reifying and Dismantling the Reactive Self
Therefore, all the reasonings of the central way are factors in the eradication of the habit-pattern of misknowledge, the root of the (compulsive) life-cycle. Hence, having identified how our own unconscious misknowledge maintains its hold, we should strive to put a stop to it, and should not amuse ourselves with expertise in mere hairsplitting with other philosophers.

Clearing the Mind for Social Engagement
Just as the linguist [gradually] teaches grammar, so the Buddha taught [various] teachings appropriate to the needs of disciples. Some [he taught] to counteract vice; some to cultivate virtue. Some [he taught] based on [the] dualism [of world versus Nirvana]. [And finally, he taught some] the profound, awe-inspiring practice of enlightenment not based on dualism, in essence, the openness that is compassion.
