HAPPINESS - according to Buddhism

OK, so it's a bit paradoxical having an English guy talk about happiness (we like our misery!). But these are not my words - this is what the Buddha actually said about happiness - the different kinds, and the supermundane happiness that only a practiced meditator can experience. It's probably not what you expect - and yet, surely the purpose behind all our actions is happiness??? Or is it, as Aristotle thought, to have a life 'well lived'?

Everyone is welcome, from beginners to experienced meditators. We meet to support and encourage each other in our practice.
Baan Aree is a Thai Buddhist Center, please dress modestly.
___________
As is usual with Buddhist teachings, there is no charge for this event. However, the Little Bangkok Sangha follows the Buddhist custom of Dana (generosity). The teachings and the venue are offered as an act of generosity, and those receiving them can, if they wish, support with a small donation. These go towards the teacher’s and venue’s costs. Boxes for Dana will be provided.
