Inner Peace - the real source of happiness

Buddhism teaches people that the real source of happiness is inner peace. If our mind is peaceful, we shall be happy all the time, regardless of external conditions, but if it is disturbed or troubled in any way, we shall never be happy, no matter how good our external conditions may be. External conditions can only make us happy if our mind is peaceful. We can understand this through our own experience. For instance, even if we are in the most beautiful surroundings and have everything we need, the moment we get angry any happiness we may have disappears. This is because anger has destroyed our inner peace. (from http://www.parami.org/buddhistanswers/buddhists_happy.htm)

This photo was taken yesterday when I finished jocking. I saw a lot of clouds in the sky but there would be opportunity for some beautiful light so I hurried to this place. Although there was no any miracle but the long exposure shot with some light shining to that building made a beautiful compositon and color.
