Buddha Shakyamuni

Inner Peace & Happiness
The teachings of Buddha

We generally believe that external conditions such as food, friends, cars, and money are the real causes of happiness, and, as a result, we devote nearly all our time and energy to acquiring them.

Buddha explained that, in reality, happiness arises from peaceful and positive states of mind, whereas problems and suffering arise from confused and negative states of mind. He taught methods for gradually overcoming negative minds and developing positive minds instead. Through these teachings, many people came to experience lasting inner peace and real happiness.
