At the core of Buddha's teachings is the path to happiness. The Buddha himself was known as "The Happy One," so it's no surprise that Buddhism has produced a rich heritage of ways to be happy. This book gathers the best of these ideas and makes them accessible to modern readers. "1325 Buddhist Ways to Be Happy" looks at everyday situations and provides the Buddha's and other Buddhist teachers' guidance for navigating them in a cheerful, positive way. The attainment of happiness has always been the goal of Buddhism, and even the Dalai Lama admits that one doesn't need to change religions to benefit from the teachings of the Happy One. The sayings in this book allow readers of any faith (or no faith) to explore the Buddha's ideas and relate them to their own personal quest for happiness.
