Portland | How to train in Happiness

If there was ever a good time to recognize that in order to be happy we need to actively train in happiness, that time is now! Happiness is a state of mind, and like any state of mind it can be strengthened through training. But to do so we need to know what are the actual causes of happiness. According to Buddha, authentic happiness does not depend upon amassing specific external conditions, such as wealth, beauty, status, etc., but rather its main ingredient is inner peace. And meditation is essential for training in inner peace and happiness.

In this series we will look at how to experience and maintain authentic happiness, and how we can continue to train in these positive states during our daily activities. With this understanding we can learn how to bring this profound happiness into the lives of others.
