Most of the time, we don’t know the definition of happiness.

2022-04-25 Xiangpeng's righteous thoughts

There is no doubt that the ultimate goal of Buddhism is to achieve liberation.If every skill and method of Buddhism cannot bring you worldly happiness, it will at least not cause you pain.Most of the time, we don’t even know the definition of happiness.But if we analyze it, we will find that broadly speaking, happiness and control have such a big relationship.
When our lives are under control, we consider ourselves happy;When we need to rely on other people or things, such as financially or emotionally, we always feel as if we are subject to that person or that condition.Feeling that we need to rely on someone essentially makes us feel that we have no control over ourselves, or our own life, is often not a happy situation. 
Health problems have a lot to do with stress, especially in modern life.How do we deal with stress?Lavender essential oil may help a little, but in the end it still comes down to how much control we have.In other words, most of the time we blindly and without reason wanting to get the results we want, and therefore doomed to feel disappointed and stressed when we don’t get them.
But when a person has control, he or she may have a hope, but at the same time there is another idea to say in his heart that "this may not happen". This awareness allows a person to prepare to accept the opposite of what he wants.The most basic techniques in Buddhism that enable us to think about compassion and understand the truth should allow us to gain some control over ourselves.I think we can't find any way to make us happy, rich and healthy than Buddhism.
