Ajahn Anan reflects on the profound meaning of Visakha Puja—the day marking the Buddha’s birth, enlightenment, and passing. After his enlightenment, the Buddha experienced the bliss of liberation, free from all suffering and defilements. He spent seven weeks in contemplation, gratitude, and teaching, each week deepening his understanding and compassion. Ajahn Anan contrasts worldly happiness—rooted in craving and impermanence—with the inner peace that arises from generosity, morality, meditation, and wisdom. True happiness, he reminds us, is found not in clinging to the material world, but in freeing the heart through Dhamma practice.
