Theravada Buddhism, the way to true happiness
(Theravada Buddhism) The Middle Way is the way to happiness via Buddhist meditation (the attitude of mindful clarity free of discursive thinking and judgments, full of dispassion and clear seeing (vipassana) leading to insight. The pursuit of happiness is always pursing and never attaining. How can one become happy? The enlightened Thai Buddhist monk Ajahn Chah taught Westerners. Mindfulness provides immediate relief. Samadhi ("stillness") is more advanced. Finally, realization of the stages of enlightenment (bodhi, "awakening") leads to the end of all suffering or true happiness.
