The Purpose of Existence
Happiness is undoubtedly the most desirable state of being we all strive to achieve. Thus, every human being is continuously engaged in one experiment after the other in their own ways to experience new ways to attain fulfilling happiness and increase its intensity for a longer-lasting effect. Therefore, one of life’s most rewarding endeavours has to be to spend time discovering, exploring, and studying what the Buddha – the foremost authority on the mind, expounded on this topic. Join us on this series as we make a somewhat unorthodox exploration into the ‘Philosophy of Happiness’.
This talk is a part of the series "Buddha's Guide to Happiness"
