What is happiness in Buddhism?

If you give an exemplary answer, it can be said that you will be in a state of [no suffering].

But at least in my case, in this life, I think it's probably another dream that's as close to impossible as possible. However, what if they promise that one day they will surely attain enlightenment and be freed from all kinds of suffering...?

It's like I've already been saved. This is called [isosequence].

Right now, I can live my life with hope even though I'm in the midst of agony and agony.
I can feel safe and anxious.

Would you like to congratulate them?
But even in the midst of suffering, I am a happy person.

Isn't happiness contentment?
The elimination of worries, suffering, and dissatisfaction.

In order to do that, it is better to be aware (let your worries go away).
Because once the worries go away, there will be no dissatisfaction.
In order to get rid of worries, it is necessary to notice (understand) the truth.
Worry is an innate “misunderstanding” that we living beings have.
Realizing that misunderstanding, “Oh, it was a misunderstanding,” is enlightenment, and once you understand it, the misunderstanding (worry) goes away.

There are 2 answers, so change your perspective a little bit.

This is a common question.
“There's half water in the cup. What do you think?”
Mr. A says “there's only half left”
Mr. B “There's still half left”

Similarly, the fact that they received lives from their parents and are in this world
Mr. A said, “Why were you born into this world!”
Mr. B says “Thank you for giving birth”

Even when it comes to the same facts and matters, there are different ways of looking at and feeling.

Do you look at what's there, or do you look at what isn't?
Satisfied or dissatisfied? Affirmation or denial? Gratitude or Jealousy?

In the words of my father, “the pure land (heaven) and the good dirty earth (hell) are actually not separate; they just exist within us.”

Follow the method shown by the Buddha,
Through hard work and trial and error, I will learn how to look at things from the Pure Land as much as possible.

When I pass away someday, I think I would be happy if I could be grateful for my life and relationships and surrender to the Buddha with peace of mind.

I was able to encounter Buddha's teachings.

In general, I think people feel a “sense of happiness,” for example, “I ate something delicious,” “my girlfriend got a boyfriend,” “got a promotion and bought a house,” and “won the lottery.”

All of these things can only be felt when they are in the opposite state. I think “I was able to eat delicious food” from a state of starvation, “I had a girlfriend and a boyfriend” even though I was lonely, “I was promoted and bought a house” even though I was living in an apartment, and “I won the lottery” even though I didn't have any savings.

These are things that give you a sense of happiness, and when those external materials become negative, you become “unhappy.”

Also, happiness is a sense of happiness, and humans quickly get used to external stimuli that bring happiness. When my stomach is full, I don't feel happy even if I eat more than that.

If you eat delicious food on a daily basis, you won't feel as delicious or happy as the ramen you ate when you were hungry.

Even if you have a boyfriend or girlfriend, you will eventually be distracted by others, and sooner or later your body will deteriorate over time. As time goes by with promotions and homes, you will start to feel dissatisfied, big or small, and if you have a retirement age, the house also has a useful life.

Would a billionaire with 1 trillion yen win the 100 million lottery and feel like he would climb to heaven?

Happiness brought about by external things is something we feel based on the misfortune of not having them.
Also, it is something that is lost with death.

Now, the introduction has been long, but the happiness obtained through Buddhist practice is not external happiness in general, but an overwhelming “spiritual experience of happiness” that goes beyond the physical body. (While saying that it is beyond the body, experience is also contradictory, but there is no other expression...)

It is a joy that feels like it springs up from “emptiness” where you don't feel your body, and it is brought about regardless of what state the external thing is in.

Also, it is a sense of happiness where the mind and body are in that state on a daily basis, and it also increases over time, which is the exact opposite of a body or substance that deteriorates over time.

There isn't much talk about that in Buddhism. There are many expressions like nothing is pain (^ ^)
Well, maybe it's because Buddhism doesn't invite people to “profit-inducing” training, such as hanging carrots in front of horses.

The ultimate of serenity of mind is actually something peaceful and warm.
The highest of peace of mind is actually warm, clear, and kind.
Even if you know this in theory, you learn it from a mentor who can lead you there from a perfect point of view.
For example, when discussing happiness, humans argue from an oblique perspective or by looking at the lotus.
If there is a capital city where people like that are quite happy, they have been sitting in a remote area quite a bit since then. It's a world of thought, a world of criticism, a world of views, a world of evaluation, a world of messiness and stinginess, and a disturbing world.
There are also people who argue that happiness is far from happy.
Right now, the questioner is looking for happiness.
Don't be someone who talks about happiness.
I just want to be happy.
So what should we do to be happy?
In terms of Buddhism, Buddhism is a teaching that explains the fundamentals of human beings in the first place, so it is good to be before the heart is imbued with a world of human thoughts such as profit and loss, superiority and disadvantage, likes and dislikes, and positive/negative.
Zazen is the shortest shortcut.
It's good if you learn under a mentor who isn't aggressive or strict.
In Buddhism, people don't touch real Buddhism. There is no human intervention.
Don't you think there are things in Japanese temple Buddhism where Taitaibo-san's personal thoughts have interfered? Buddhism is the same in Asian countries. Since they spend their time naked, they look decent when viewed from Japan, but some of them are steeped in the thought of de, which is a super local irrational Buddhist by-product.
Even so, it's important not to get blurry.
It seems like there were a lot of things, but sometimes it's better to have an attitude of lying and breaking Buddhism with a punk mentality.
For example, if you go to the doctor, they will give you medicine, but it may not necessarily be suitable for the individual. Let's say people before and after that were given the same medicine. Let's say everyone who was examined by that doctor was given the same medicine. There are also clerical things like that.
I wasn't saved until I discovered bloody Buddhism.
If you're going to get involved in Buddhism, I think it's better to learn from people who have made it through regardless of denomination.
It's a bit confusing when it comes to whether famous people = preaching true teachings.
I hope I can meet someone who can properly explain that there is content that can save me.

Hello.

In a poem by calligrapher Mitsuo Aida
“Happiness is always determined by my heart”
There is a word.

In Buddhism, there is a term “small desire and contentment.” It means reducing greed and noticing what is always enough.

Happiness doesn't come from anywhere; I think it's about being aware that it's actually within you.

Hello, Tsugumi.

Having studied Buddhism, I couldn't help but feel the wonder of who I am now.
The world is a world where life or death is unreasonable and there is a lot of suffering, and everyone is suffering at all. Along with how difficult it is to live in it, there are times when we can see a moment of light and light. Can you feel it and grab it? I feel that is the meaning of life.

I like anime and manga, so this is a famous line from Hayao Miyazaki's manga “Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind.”
“Life is a shining light in the dark!!”
I can see a single light in the midst of suffering. Impermanent joy occurs when you feel it with your heart, even if it is painful.

I believe that feelings close to that lead to happiness in Buddhism. Gassho
　

Whether a Buddhist or an ordinary man (just a person living in distress), what happiness do I think in my heart

I have a lot of money
wellness
I'm always with the person I like
Don't get involved with people you don't like
Things go the way you want them to
Easy and painless

Something like that, but in Buddhism, I am told by the Buddha's teachings that what I think is not true happiness.

So, what is happiness in Buddhism, but in Buddhist terms

Nirvana, orthodoxy, myosense, legality, reality...

Well, in other words, it means “remember,” but if you try to get closer to what that means, you'll end up interpreting that term.
Even the term is a verbal expression of the Buddha's remembrance, but if further interpretations are added from there, this is something that only the number of people can taste is born.
That's why it's important to properly grasp the meaning of terms in order to reduce blurring.

When it comes to where we touch “perception (truth) itself” rather than “perception (truth) itself” called language or interpretation, “something that expresses perception (truth) so that we can understand it,” it is a place where “I notice that I disobey my knowledge (truth).”

There is a point of contact with enlightenment (truth) where I disagree with enlightenment (truth) becomes clear.

Therefore, if you dare to express “what is happiness in Buddhism,” it means “it's different from what I think (happiness) (and yet I'm obsessed with them).”

I appreciate the responses from the teachers who expressed it more concretely. I also learned a lot from this question.

　　I think the goal of Buddhists is to attain enlightenment and attain Buddhism.

Unfortunately, for those who are unable to attain Buddhism, simply walking along the Bodhisattva path is a way of life as a Buddhist, and I think they are happy as Buddhists.

As a specific guideline for this way of life, there is the Bodhisattva Shitsuka Four Regent Method.
Donations Share joy and comfort with others
Love words that make others feel at ease
Benefit (benefit) others by making a profit
Colleagues share the pain and joy of others

It says, “The very appearance of the Buddha symbolizes the happiness of Buddhists.” I thought about it. The shape of a Buddha's hand is called Inzo (Inzo), and the most common seal forms are the Yogan Seal and the Shiwai Seal.
The seal of fear means giving peace of mind that “you don't have to be afraid.” Request seal means “to give joy.” The seal on the right hand of the Great Buddha of Nara is the seal of fear, and the seal on the left hand is the seal of yogan.

At the same time, I've thought about “happiness” on my blog before. It might be somewhat helpful.
