5 cravings --wealth, fame, sex, fancy food, lots of sleep
5 true powers -- faith, diligence, mindfulness, concentration, insight
Faith -- confidence and trust
Diligence -- stop negative emotions from manifesting; replacing negative; invite good seeds; nourish good seeds
Mindfulness -- energy of being aware of what is in the present; the capacity to reckonize things as they are (eg. seating, walking, do them with 100% focus).
Concentration and insight -- mindfulness will lead to concentration and concentration will lead to insight.
Buddha on Being Happy --
