True Happiness along the Middle way
By Luang Phaw Dhammajayo
Every person in the world desires happiness, hates
suffering, and hopes to find true fulfillment. But billions of people have yet
to learn the nature of true happiness. What is it and how can it be achieved?
"> These were the circumstances before the birth of the Lord
Buddha more than 2,500 years ago: The Lord Buddha gave his life over to
experimentation in the science of the mind until he discovered the practice of
meditation along the Middle Way. When he followed the Middle Way, he found
inner peace, wisdom and true happiness. The meditation he taught is a universal
method that people of all nationalities and religions are able to practice even
though their faiths may differ from one another.

"> The true happiness sought by all people can be found within each of us. It is not an external
power or object. The method for reaching this happiness is to completely still
the mind. When the mind reaches a state of complete stillness, happiness will
follow swiftly. Nothing else is necessary. However, if stillness cannot be
accomplished, true happiness will remain unattainable. Make the mind centred
and calm during every activity : while sitting, standing, walking or sleeping.
An indescribable happiness will overflow from within.
