Eight Mundane Concerns

psycheliberation:

The eight mundane concerns are attitudes that tend to dominate our lives generally.

  • becoming elated when someone praises you
  • becoming depressed when someone insults or belittles you
  • feeling happy when you experience success
  • being depressed when you experience failure
  • being joyful when you acquire wealth
  • feeling dispirited when you become poor
  • being pleased when you have fame
  • feeling depressed when you lack recognition

- H.H. The Dalai Lama
