True happiness is going to be found in learning how to train your actions. You’re firm in your intent to stick with your precepts. You’re firm on your intent to maintain right view.

"This is where true happiness is going to be found: in learning how to train your actions. Any loss of that conviction would be fatal to a pursuit of happiness that could be reliable, trustworthy. So that’s going to be a serious loss.

Fortunately, the things that would be a serious loss are things that are under your control. You can maintain your virtue. People can offer you all kinds of rewards for breaking the precepts, but you can say No. You can maintain your right view.

As for loss of relatives, loss of wealth, loss of your health, that’s going to happen at some point anyhow, sooner or later. You lose these things; you get them back. You get them back; you lose them again. But with loss of right view, loss of your virtue: If you lose that, you’re going to be acting on wrong view, acting in unskillful ways, and that’s going to be for your long-term harm. That’s why it’s a serious loss. But it is under your control. You can prevent that.

So you work on that — you’re firm in your intent to stick with your precepts. You’re firm on your intent to maintain right view. That firmness of intent, that’s the Thai definition of concentration: tang cai man."
