What happiness is and how to get it | EN | Venerable Canda*

We all want more happiness and less suffering. What is the reason for happiness?

What type of happiness should we pursue? What is the foundation and causes for happiness? What motivates us to practice?

Happiness is a natural process − there is happiness, and it comes as a result of putting in beautiful wholesome causes, learning to go through problems with wisdom, and developing perceptions that will transform our lives.

This teaching was given at Venabu 2024.
