What does it mean to be truly happy?Happy - feeling or showing pleasure or contentment.When we take a moment to look at those around us, we can see that the simple wish to be happy and to avoid suffering is the common denominator that unites us all. “Looking at the world today, we might easily forget that the main purpose of our life – you could call it the heart of being human – is to be happy. All of us share the same wish, and the same right, to seek happiness and avoid suffering. Even following a spiritual path, or the religious life, is a quest for happiness.” – Sogyal Rinpoche But often we confuse happiness with a momentary state of pleasure or passing feeling of joy. We look to experiences or material possession to bring us satisfaction. While this is sometimes the case, the sense of pleasure is never long lasting. For example, I enjoy my new Kindle tremendously, but I can assure you it’s not the source of true happiness. When it runs out of juice, it quickly becomes the source of minor irritation. Likewise, when I’m unable to access the internet to purchase a book. Should it break or wear out – as all composite things do – chances are I will feel disgruntled. The same thing with a sumptuous meal. It might delight for awhile, but it doesn’t lead to a deeper happiness. It may even cause indigestion. Let’s not even talk about relationships, which are typically fraught with ups and downs, and are, by their very nature, impermanent. According to the Oxford Dictionary of English “happy” means feeling or showing pleasure or contentment. We can immediately eliminate the word “pleasure” from the definition of true happiness. As we have seen, pleasure can never bring a long-lasting sense of happiness and it often brings suffering in its wake. The word “contentment contains some of the same meanings as happiness. However, it is also defined as a sense of “ease.” Happiness comes about in two ways. 1. On an ordinary level, there are many ways we can train our mind in happiness. For example, we can choose loving thoughts, words, and actions. The more we cultivate love, compassion, joy and impartiality, the more we will become a vibrant source of happiness for others. And for ourselves too. 2. On a profound level, when we are in touch with our true nature – our innermost essence – joy naturally arises. We don’t have to do anything in particular to create it. It just flows up when we abide in our natural mind. Other emotions may arise like sadness, anger, worry, or fear, but they won’t necessarily stick if we become accustomed to simply resting in the clear and open space of our original mind.5.
