Here, as part of the teachings of Buddhist wisdom, we reflect and test in our own experience the definition of happiness proposed in teachings more than 2600 years old. But already at the time, as since the dawn of time, Man has always tried to bring this <strong>quest for happiness<\/strong> to its end. So, what definition of happiness does Buddhism offer us?<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cHappiness and suffering are states of mind, so their main causes cannot be outside the mind. The real source of happiness is inner peace. If our mind is peaceful, we will be happy all the time, regardless of external conditions, but if it is disturbed or troubled in any way, we will never be happy, no matter how good our external conditions may be. \u201d<\/p>\n<p>Excerpt from the free e-book <a href=\"https:\/\/howtotyl.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How to transform your life<\/a> by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-4\"><h2 class=\"citation-articles\"><strong>Is that all? Just inner peace? \u2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-5\"><p>Well, yes! But in Buddhism, you are asked to never believe an affirmation without passing it to the mill of your critical mind and then test it life-size in your daily life. This is why the meditation classes given in our center aim to explain each concept by dissecting it with scientific rigor and a rational mind.<\/p>\n<p>Subsequently, it is your responsibility to objectively check whether meditation actually brings you happiness. <strong>You need to observe the quality of a day when you meditated and compare it to a day when you did not meditate<\/strong>. Thus, you should see how a peaceful spirit gradually allows you to live a simply happier life! With this motivation, meditation can very quickly become a very effective tool to find the Holy Grail where you may not have sought: happiness is a state of mind, it makes sense to find it in our mind and more precisely in a peaceful spirit.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":14234,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[141],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11467","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-meditation"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.meditation-paris.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11467","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.meditation-paris.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.meditation-paris.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.meditation-paris.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.meditation-paris.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11467"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dev.meditation-paris.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11467\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":77748,"href":"https:\/\/dev.meditation-paris.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11467\/revisions\/77748"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.meditation-paris.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14234"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.meditation-paris.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11467"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.meditation-paris.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11467"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.meditation-paris.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11467"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
