Happiness Is an Inside Job
with Howie Geismar
In this class we learn that the real source of happiness is inner peace. External conditions cannot give us pure and lasting happiness because they constantly change. When our mind is peaceful, we are happy. When our mind is disturbed, we experience problems.
Through meditation and practical teachings, we learn how to recognize and abandon delusions, the unpeaceful states of mind that cause our suffering. By gradually training in positive states of mind, we discover that happiness depends upon our own mental discipline. In this way, we begin to create the causes of lasting happiness from within.
