Happiness Is Available, Help Yourself To It

 Happiness Is Available, Help Yourself To It Every day we have many feelings. Sometimes we are happy, sometimes we are sorrowful, sometimes angry, irritated or afraid; and these feelings fill our mind and heart. One feeling lasts for a while, and then another comes, and another, as if there is a stream of feelings for us to deal with. Practising meditation is to be aware of each feeling. The Abhidharma writings on Buddhist psychology say that feelings are of three kinds: pleasant, unpleasant and neutral. When we step on a thorn, we have an unpleasant feeling. When someone says something nice to us, ‘You are very smart,’ or ‘You are very beautiful,’ we have a pleasant feeling. And there are neutral feelings, such as when you sit there and don’t feel either pleasant or unpleasant … I find this analysis incorrect. A so-called neutral feeling can become very pleasant. If you sit down, very beautifully, and practise breathing and smiling, you can be very happy. When you sit in this ...

Happiness And Money : How much money do you really need to be happy?

 Happiness And Money: How much money do you really need to be happy? In the real world there certainly is a relationship between salary/income and happiness. However, what is that ideal amount of money which can make your life happier forever?   They say money can’t buy happiness. Let’s, however, be honest — they say a lot of things and they’re not always right. Experts say that happiness does increase with wealth, but the correlation peaks at a certain amount of earning per annum. However, no matter how much more than that people make, they don’t report any greater degree of happiness. You must have heard a common saying ‘Money Can’t Buy Everything’. There are many things that no amount of money can buy and you can think of it this way:  1.        # Money can buy medicine, but not health. 2.        # Money can buy a house, but not a home. 3.        # Money can buy comp...

Can finite objects give infinite happiness?

 Can finite objects give infinite happiness? Each living being endeavors to achieve satisfaction and keep away from distress. Also, this mission has shown a considerable lot of us that unremarkable delights, like great food, agreeable convenience, never keep going long. An individual who loves rasagollas may get some joy when a rasagolla is first positioned in the mouth yet will get nothing whenever it is gulped.  All in all, what is the wellspring of super durable satisfaction? Just that object which is itself limitless can give limitless and long-lasting satisfaction. How might a limited object give endless joy? Today it exists; tomorrow it vanishes. Just, when you interact with a boundless element will you keep on appreciating everlasting satisfaction despite the fact that you are a limited substance.  Antiquated sacred texts grant the information on the boundless element, Brahmavidya, called vijnana, otherworldly science. The parts of science from which ordinary infor...

Taste The Delight Of Dealing With Self

 Taste The Delight Of Dealing With Self  Testing times are freedoms to begin dealing with oneself. All progressions that we need to achieve need to start from the inside.  Noticing our conduct, disposition, biases – what triggers agony; are we manipulative, conspiring and plotting, desirous, angry – then, at that point, endeavoring to improve as a form of ourselves each second and developing, is named as chipping away at the self with mindfulness.  It begins with the acknowledgment of one's defects, and not covering it with discovering the causes outside. Searching externally for the wellspring of one's upsetting behavior or impudent conduct stunts development. All things being equal, monitoring one's shortcomings and tolerating them, normally opens the conduits of energy, and grants the solidarity to act and work on the self with full limit and ability. Then, at that point right messages, mandates, right creatures, circumstances, data and gyan come from all bearings...

Happiness And Health Are The Two Most Important Things In Life

Happiness And Health Are The Two Most Important Things In Life The world is becoming obsessed with money and all things material. From the size of your house, the type of car and even where you travel on your holidays, some people are trying to go one better do their friends and family. For me, these people are quite sad. I have a friend who is similar to the people above, he is always thinking of money, always talking about money. How to earn it, how to spend it etc. He is part of a lottery syndicate, there are about fifty people in this syndicate. When he goes out on a Saturday evening, he always takes with him a piece of paper with the numbers on it and a little pen. At around nine o’clock he phones his girlfriend and she tells him what the numbers are for that particular night. He then spends around twenty minutes checking the numbers and then re-checking to see if he has any winning lines. He then returns from the toilet area and is asked by other members of the group about ho...
