Identifying True Happiness (And Avoiding False Happiness)

Imagine yourself on a cloud observing the activities below you. How many of the actions you see do you think are driven by the wish for happiness and the desire to avoid suffering? Probably all of them. But do we know what brings us happiness and avoids unnecessary suffering?

Join Venerable Thubten Chonyi for this meditation teasing apart true sources of happiness – like ethical behavior and wisdom – and the eight worldly concerns in Buddhism – material possessions, praise, reputation, and sense of enjoyments. This is a practical analytical meditation that can help you observe what motivates your daily actions a little more closely.
