Description:
Ajahn Brahm leads us into the Rains Retreat with this scorcher of a talk. The Buddha's teaching of acceptance and letting go of states leads to the kind of deep happiness that cannot be found by shopping in the 'happiness industry' of this world. As Ajahn Chah famously said: "Joy at last -to know there is no happiness in the world!"

Hi guys,
It's true,when letting go of searching for happiness from samsara, it is easier to meditate. Rapture started to arise . This can keep one feeling contented for hours afterwards for no reason. The truth that permanent happiness can't be found from the things in this world is hard for many people to accept. But once realizing this truth, it can give way to transformation and joy.

With Metta,
