What is Buddhism & Why?

Happiness is undoubtedly the most desirable state of being we all strive to achieve. Thus, every human being is continuously engaged in one experiment after the other in their own ways to experience new ways to attain fulfilling happiness and increase its intensity for a longer-lasting effect. Therefore, one of life’s most rewarding endeavours has to be to spend time discovering, exploring and studying what the Buddha – the foremost authority on the mind, expounded on this topic. Join us on this series as we make a somewhat unorthodox exploration into the ‘Philosophy of Happiness’.

This talk is a part of the series "Buddha's guide to Happiness"

Happiness is your choice so well explained by this beloved Swaminvahanse, at a moment of happiness a single unhappy thoughts enters your mind at the same time and it turns to unhappiness that is suffering .we suffer more being unhappy than happy.from the very moment we are born it is Dhukha .supreme Buddha has explained it to us clearly . Happiness is just a fleeting moment in our life out done by dhukha.- Suffering.

I would recommend these video lessons by monks in Jethavanarama buddhist monastery.
These helped me alot.

These are audio lessons from noble monks who diligently follow the Buddha's path. It changed my life in a great deal. That is the only reason for recommending these.

Much grateful to the maha sangarathnaya who help us follow the path.
May all beings attain the noble bliss of nibbana..

Ven.Sir when you start a Damma sermon, first pay your homage to the Supreme Buddha. If you don't respect Lord Buddha .... you can't refuge Buddha, Dhamma and Sanga. In simple terms ... Don't say Hello
