Searching For Happiness

[lifeafter41]

Good News!

My wife's aunt has become a born again Christian!!

After months of suffering from a series of severe health problems, all of us, including the church brothers and sisters prayed for her....she finally recovered and is greatly indebted to Christ salvation!!

Hallelujah!

Did your wife's aunt see a doctor for her health problem?

happiness...sadness...all are just illusions...

 

[lifeafter41]

the first time she did see the doctor in a hospital...prescribed her medicines that caused her to have many other health problems...

and she went back again...to another hospital....and stayed for almost a month before she finally recovers....with our brothers and sisters prayers and visits...

i dunno maybe she was stubborn initially but later became humble and yield to God...

she out of hospital now...Awesome!!

Good for her she did seek a second opinion for her illness and has gotten well.

Buddha teaching is for followers to break away from bondage, to be free from the cycle.To reach enlightenment is the ultimate goal.




but the flesh is weak leh

The Flesh could only be as weak or strong as the mind. It is Mind over body.

Hi Suki,

What Buddha taught and still teaching us through Dharma is the about subduing the mind. Not exactly a "religion" to me.

Goh Meng Seng

Does one's really need religions to find Happinese?

As you say it is all in a State of mind, how you felt about yourself.

Try defining Happinese or sadness and you have a whole bunch of questions popping up.

No idea, don't want to crack my head, any problems that can be solve good if not just live with, it is going nowhere fast.

live the life you want and make most of it, who knows what is going to happen next, you might just drop dead or strike lottery.

So let it be, and be cheerful.

 

[Goh Meng Seng]

In my opinion, happiness is about having peace of mind.
If one is poor but has peace of mind, he will be happy. A billionaire with no peace of mind will not be happy.

Yes, precisely. Many people have gone the wrong way of seeking happiness. They thought having more and more money will make them happy, but in actual fact, in that process of pursuing all those monetary gains, they are all stressed up and unhappy. Classic Irony.

What is there to pretend.

If i die it is just a passage in life, we are all born to die, just a matter of time.

Do the world care, you can only do so much, i am no saint.

Happinese come from within you, you do what you can to help others but you can't help the whole fuck up world.

So why should i feel saddness, i should be more cheerful knowing i have done what i can, instead of preaching NATO.

So you have a choice be cheerful and happy while helping others within your limit, and not preaching garbage.

Hi Suki, i know, just pulling your legs....lol

So what do you do to be happy?

 

[chuckyworld]

Show me proof there is a place after death.

You need to be more precise on Death as same as sleeping.( Has you been there and back)......hmmm no wonder you are preaching in here.

If you spend time think on death, you have waste your life doing nothing.

If you have to die you have to, so why worry sooner or later just a matter of time, no one live indefinitely. so why worry and thinking over something you don't have control.

 

[chuckyworld]

So tell me how do you want your day to be.

Long face when you wake up or being cheerful, it is all up to you.

 

[chuckyworld]

chucky
So what do you do to be happy?

What do i do to be happy.....hmmm...let me put it this,we all do have mood swing, temper, snapping or getting angry at someone or name calling and what naught.

All this will bring you down it happen to everyone, you will be stress your body feel like it is about to explode or you need to hit something.

I would go to a park or beach for a walk, listening to the the wave and seagull or watching children at play, you cannot allow thought of taking revenge or scheming to screw the person who have offended you.

If i am to let every single name calling or disagreement to fill my thought day in and day out i would have turn psychopath.

i try not to let thing bothers me, even if it is close to my heart, if thing happen it happen why worry and pull hair, you cannot undo thing that has happen, live with it some problem can be deal some can't no hiding from it so live with it.

Living with it doesn't mean i have to think about it, life is too short you don't know when you will go, so why let it worry you, as in cantonese saying, heaven fall down i will take it as a blanket to cover me.......

happiness is when u have no more desire . desire is the root cause of suffering.

Unfulfilled desire is the root cause of suffering.

Happiness is when you have peace of mind, which includes having little or no unfulfilled desires.

You haven't changed one bit. Errrr, other than the nickname.
