Happiness Industry: Joy At Last!

Back

Ajahn Brahm leads us into the Rains Retreat with this scorcher of a talk. The Buddha's teaching of acceptance and letting go of states leads to the kind of deep happiness that cannot be found by shopping in the 'happiness industry' of this world. As Ajahn Chah famously said: "Joy at last -to know there is no happiness in the world!"

listening to the words of this teacher and dwelling in meditation is helping me unlock and heal and connect to my true self, thank you so much I can say I am happy those around me can't believe the change and neither can I , I feel joy and compassion, the strengh of my hate ,rage violence is being replaced with compassion, tenderness strengh and forgivness. Love to you the reader, forgive me for taking so much of your time... will meet you in the stillness... thank you Ajahn.

I had looked at buddhism before and something resonated within me but its claim that meditation would help, to seek within ... well I found it to simplistic and my ego discarded it.

Don't get me wrong if you met me you would probably never have known how contorted in pain I have been as I smiled and chatted and tried to fool you. ...I have surrended, let go understood my pain and forgiven myself,

3 days ago I was violent abusing my girlfriend verbally screaming over house chores damaging my son ...seeing it but unable to change drinking and trying to recover from mild drug abuse and dependance, raised in a strict christian background, I was confused miserable and in pityful pain, I wanted to end it all before I damaged those around me and those that still loved me.

Great talk about the Joy and Happiness we still feel as we learn to accept our suffering and changes. There are some good jokes and humorous moments in this monks speech.
