What if the happiness you’ve been chasing isn’t out there—but within? Join us for an exploration of the Buddhist view on happiness, which challenges the direction of everyday life. This talk explores why the joy we seek can’t be found in material things or fleeting experiences—and how inner peace is not just a spiritual idea, but a practical path to lasting contentment. Discover how understanding your own mind can transform your relationship with the world and open the door to stable happiness—no matter what life throws your way.
This is an extract of a talk by Gen Kelsang Tubchen, Resident Teacher at Vajrasattva KMC, Dumfries, Scotland.
