Discussion on Happiness Q1. How do you define “happiness”? Happiness is a state of mind or feeling characterized by contentment, love, satisfaction, pleasure, or joy. Can you tell the difference between “happiness” and “pleasure”? Researchers caution against mistaking pleasure for happiness. Pleasure is based on external factors, and leaves one craving more, more, more. Happiness, however, is influenced less directly- even by putting off your own pleasure for the good of someone else. People who perform selfless acts of kindness, whether by volunteering for a shelter or just helping out a friend, raised their reported level of happiness. A Buddhist philosopher Daisaku Ikeda , (an educator, a prolific writer and poet) wrote the following poem on Happiness: A person with a vast heart is happy. Such a person lives each day with a broad and embracing spirit. A person with a strong will is happy. Such a person can confidently enjoy life, never defeated by suffering. A person with a profound spirit is happy. Such a person can savor lifes depths while creating meaning and value that will last for eternity. A person with a pure mind is happy. Such a person is always surrounded by refreshing breezes of joy. Daisaku Ikeda is a Buddhist philosopher, an educator and a prolific writer and poet. As president of the Soka Gakkai International (SGI) lay Buddhist movement, he has devoted himself to wide-ranging efforts for peace and individual empowerment, and has founded cultural, educational and peace research institutions around the world.
