Buddhism, we teach you meditation for for you to experience happiness that will be longer-lasting.
How is it possible?
It's possible because of the approach.
The non-Buddhist approaches, they encourage you to get more things, to hoard, to accrue.
And so, the pursuit of happiness for a Buddhist is not in accruing more, but by letting go and eliminating things that make us suffer.
So, the non-Buddhist equation for happiness is that you increase things.
For the Buddhist, happiness is you decrease suffering.
And so, happiness of the Buddhist is you eliminate suffering.
Then, if all suffering ceases, then what do you have left?
Happiness.
Because look inside yourself.
Your ability to be happy is inherent in all of you already.
We don't need to learn how to be happy.
You only use externals to experience different types of happiness, but the core part of your being is the ability to be happy, to experience happiness.
