“The purpose of life is to be happy.” Dalai Lama
All of the Buddha’s teachings are directed toward happiness. We often speak of suffering and skillful ways to navigate difficulties, but…all of the Buddha’s teachings are directed toward happiness. In our spiritual practice, we are invited; we are guided to cultivate the causes and conditions for simple and yet expansive happiness that cannot be marred by the inevitable ups and downs of a human life.
This evening’s talk will begin a long series in which we - together as community - explore happiness and its causes. There will be opportunities for additional drop-in sessions over the months ahead to cultivate very personal ways to deepen the indestructible happiness already present as seed in our own minds and hearts and lives.
