What is happiness

I don't need happiness, enlightenment, Buddha, or anything right now.
I'm so satisfied. That's my happiness.
Speaking of how this happened, I worked hard, sought enlightenment, and learned the teachings of the Buddha.
I was also caught up in a lot of strange boys and false teachings. But that didn't stop me from chasing people who were said to be real.
Ultimately, I thought it was something I was looking for within myself.
That person was an open-eyed (enlightenment) person who had always sought enlightenment from the outside world, and changed the way I was in my mind to choi-choi.
I felt it was important not to make arrangements for my own convenience, not to make expectations, not to ask for, and not to worry about events and things.

There is a Taoist song called When you shoot with a standing target with a bow, you don't get hit but you don't come off.
You're drawing things that seem like Shiawase, you're always chasing them, and that ideal isn't in the reality right in front of you. Therefore, I think they are in a state where sometimes even stress is caused by the gap between ideal and reality that cannot be obtained.
You should take the plunge, stop looking for happy things, face yourself quietly, and completely stop looking for them.
If you do that, it's not a small label called strangely happy, and you can easily get even greater happiness.
What I'm still looking for is happiness, so I give up what I was hoping for in my head
To that Shunkan, you'll be doing another happiness true happiness

This is something that the Buddha realized.
Becoming a Buddha is the purpose of Buddhism, and Buddhism is the teaching of becoming a Buddha.

However, most people, even Buddhists, don't want to become a Buddha, and they don't think that makes them happy.
That's because those who have been enlightened say, “I'm happy to be a Buddha,” and it's a situation I don't really understand because I'm endlessly far from enlightenment.

We die in search of the happiness in front of us.
Is that really OK?
It's so empty.

The Buddha explained a lot about “how to become a Buddha.”
That is the sutra.
By all means, let me listen to the “Path to Becoming a Buddha” taught by the Buddha.

A life without something to give is unhappy, and a life with something to give is happiness. This means that if you give something else, your life will be happy. So what should I give them? What everyone is looking for is the feeling that “I am important.” So every day, let's raise other people's sense of self-importance even a little bit. Including your kids. It must be a happy life.

The Buddhist idea is that if you are happy to be satisfied, you should make the bowl to fill it smaller, and if you don't have enough beer for a large mug, you can make a medium mug, it's full. It's a state of mind that I know only (just) enough.

I think many people have long been saying that happiness means feeling happy on your own, that is, “something that your own mind decides.”
If so, isn't unhappiness, which is said to be the opposite of happiness, “something determined by one's own heart.”

I would like Wakemake-san not to make herself unhappy in the future, no matter how worried, suffering, or angry she is.

Wake up

This is Kawaguchi Hidetoshi. This is my humble answer to the question.

Regarding “happiness,” I've recently been able to answer the following questions.

Question “What is happiness?”
http://blog.livedoor.jp/hasunoha_kawaguchi/archives/1019837645.html

As you have certainly mentioned, each person has a different value for “happiness.” Also, from a secular perspective, being satisfied and satisfying desires will be called “happiness,” but in Buddhism, “happiness” is not “happiness” in a secular sense that satisfies desires, but rather aims for “ultimate happiness” called “a state of nirvana and enlightenment.” Exactly, like the name of The Awakening, we are required to awaken to the truth.

Worldly contentment and happiness are not something that lasts forever. It's just something that always breaks and causes suffering. It's “terrible suffering,” but in the essence of suffering, it is important to understand that something called “suffering” is ahead. Regarding “all suffering,” we have also answered the following questions.

Question “About living”
http://blog.livedoor.jp/hasunoha_kawaguchi/archives/1017172785.html

“... “suffering” means being impermanent in this world, a world where things and things are impracticable, and yet in a world of intangeness (no autonomy, no autonomy), we see reality (obsession), so impermanent, and various changing phenomena have become suffering. ・・”

Then, next, how should we live for that ultimate happiness, but as a Buddhist answer, the content of the Seven Buddhists, “All Evil Mosaku, the Good, the Bugyo, Self-Purification, the Meaning of Buddhism,” simply shows that. The point is not to do bad deeds, work hard at good deeds, and purify your mind. Of course, this seems easy, and it's very difficult to put it into practice...

Anyway, let's work hard together towards true awakening and ultimate happiness.
