The details of this discussion emphasize that happiness is collective and shared in parent-child relationships. Cultivating the wisdom of non-discrimination eliminates pride and creates harmony, illustrated by the story of the hands and the hammer. Meditation helps to recognize that we are a continuation of our parents and ancestors, and that our happiness depends on mindfulness and compassion. Practicing mindfulness, such as meditating with a pebble, calms anger and restores inner peace.
