To everyone interested in Buddhism and Vipassana, I invite you to visit my country, Myanmar, when it is peaceful and stable. We have preserved the Buddha’s teachings (Pitaka) very well.

Very clear! Thank you so much :)

Or, be a jellyfish.

Great presentation! Thanks!

How does this only have four comments?! I must have listened to this once or twice a year since it was uploaded.

Great wisdom. It also doesn’t mean that we can’t do what we enjoy. There can still be a preference where we enjoy doing A rather than B. But don’t be fixated on the high from achieving some goal. To give some examples from my own life … at one point I set myself a goal or reading one book a week. I did manage this for a few months and then realised that I was rushing through the books just for the tiny buzz from finishing a book within the week. I wasn’t enjoying the experience or going on a 5k run with the goal of trying to shave off a little time of my PB and being really annoyed if I didn’t get it. I now read at leisure and enjoy the activity when I feel like it, no particular goal. I also jog once a week which I (kind of) enjoy most of the time. Think this resonates with his message? I suppose even if you have the intention of becoming a top runner then the trying to keep bettering your time is something you can still thrive for without having to suffer the pain and anguish when you aren’t successful.

Wonderful clarity in general but specifically on the disconnect of Buddhist teaching and "New Age philosophies." The heightened importance we now seem to put on our inner feelings has so many problems. Thank you for articulating that so well.

Could it be that those "Studies about the effects of monks meditations" are also another story... in order to create interest in their idiologies, at the end all of these are fictions.

There are just 7 sister of pleasure one is more beautiful than the other... But unfortunately nobody ever makes to the 7th sister of pleasure. They all suffer a burnt out halfway through, often experienced by artists, drama queens, actors and ordinary people who don't value themselves. Through substance and alcohol abuse.😢😮😢...

Besides..."People who value things, don't value themselves." Bruce Lee...😮

Ahem...There is No Path to Happiness, as Happiness is the Path...Dali Lama.😊

It is an invitation to learn more about the Buddhist way of achieving lasting happiness, a great explanation indeed.

In 1984 I wrote a paper at uni "the pursuit of happiness through the illusion of reality". This was based on our constant need to purchase things we are told will make us happy, but they are merely stepping stones to the next purchase. All rust, break or become obsolete and we become more depressed..

Hey do you have the info for me to download this as mp3? Maybe you can send it to my email? I’ve tried some KZbin to mp3 and they say the video is to long wondering if you could share the audio so I can bypass YT Thanks!

Actually happiness is very elusive and I recommend Equanimity instead.

Thank you for sharing this amazing book.❤

Good insight

wonderful. thank you for insight into happiness. sat, chit, ananda (being, awareness, bliss)

Thank you

Very good

It's fascinating that happiness can be independent of feelings

I think it does matter how you feel inside. You ain't gonna be happy unless you feel at ease with yourself. And perhaps the term is not really "happiness." I think a better term is 'peace of mind" or "serenity" or "calmness."" "Stillness" could also be. But the best advice of all is to follow your own compass.

Simplistic. It is not true that our primary goal is pleasurable feelings.

❤ Super Video This Universe Thank You The Super Good Video ❤

لا يغير الله قوماً حتى يغيروا ما بأنفسهم

Thanks to Yuval harari for putting the knowledge of Buddha in such a profound way.❤

Harari talks about Buddhism without reading a Sutta, just like himself a historian talks about science without studying the history of science. That’s fundamentally flawed and misleading. According to the 2 darts parable in the Sutta, concerning suffering, the Buddha classifies two types of feeling, namely, bodily and mental. The contemplation of feeling is for its arising and vanishing (to realize its conditioning). But impermanence, which is mainly about volition, is not mentioned for the contemplation of feeling.

The nature of suffering and its roots is ignorance, especially the ignorance of the true nature of “reality.” This ignorance often leads us to cling to our own beliefs and expectations, assuming that our perspective is inherently “correct.” When life doesn’t conform to these expectations, suffering arises.

❤❤❤❤❤❤

That man has nothing to teach about happiness. In fact he must be one of the saddest along the WEF agenda, but here he use some common knowledge to seduce green people...

from which full video is this taken from?

This foolish way of just trusting the scientific method just like religion was backwards with respect to the scientific method, there might be other ways of logical methods succeeding the scientific method will show us the truth that how wrong we are thinking.

I am here

Did that trip few years back good way to lindos nice views worth doing 😂👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧🦊

Biological approach to happiness from Buddhist perspective?? :D funny but false! Maybe is better to leave the Buddhist Teachers to talk about!!

what do you think there gonna be a lot of hunch backs with big thumbs and short sighted in the future

I understand and totally trust Yuval. But I don't know how to do this, how do you not pursue happiness? .... For example, I enjoy painting, should I not paint because they joy doesn't last (which is true). If I knew it would liberate me I would stop painting... But then I will get miserable. I just don't know how to put this into practice in our Western life style...

that is so true, if you just closely observe everything that is happening, you are always craving for something better and better... but if you just accept the moment everything seems to be like it is :D

Omg... I need to hear more from him... Where is this clip from? Is there more?

Our feelings and desires as well as our identity are as lasting as the water that run on the river, you never drink water from the same river.

Thanks….good summary. Let’s hear it for Chogyam Trungpa…

Hello, did you pay the boat driver or is there a designated payment area ? Thanks

I knew I never wanted a smart phone when they came up for exactly this reason. Now im fucked.

Im watching this on my phone at 6 a.m.

He is blabbering, Buddha didn't say renounce everything. Buddha gave specific teaching to lay people s welfare and spiritual development. This man is using advanced Buddhist teachings to either mess with the world via EF and to make money...while waiting for their Messiah. Sad life!!
