With all the demands and distractions of daily life, it can be easy to lose touch with our natural state of Joy, love, and compassion. But, as Mingyur Rinpoche reminds us, these qualities are available to us 24/7 — all we have to do is come home to them.

In this 2-minute clip from his Global Joy Summit session, Rinpoche offers profound wisdom on how every thought, emotion, and behavior that we experience is a wish for happiness — and this is a sign of our basic innate goodness.
