Synopsis: Daily life may appear stressful and challenging, especially in the midst of a global pandemic. Oftentimes the stressors and troubles are self-inflicted due to our ignorance. In pursuit of our Happiness, we turn to material comforts and sensual experiences that provide only fleeting Ordinary Happiness. Come and explore the timeless advice and instructions provided by the Buddha to lead a life that would provide the basis for Extra-ordinary Happiness in this life and beyond. In this module, we will delve into the wisdom found in two Suttas. The first is Sigālovāda Sutta, which highlights the activities that we should engage in and avoid in order to live a purposeful and joyful life, while fulfilling our responsibilities and relating harmoniously with everyone. We will also study the Dīghajāṇu Sutta, where the Buddha expounds on how we can train ourselves, to improve our welfare and Happiness and to lead our lives with compassion and wisdom, bringing benefits in this life and future lives.

Synopsis: Purification of the mind is essential if we are determined to seek the taste of ultimate bliss through our own awakening, and to be free from all sufferings. This can only be realised through our effort to develop the mind, step by step. In this module, the Venerable will address the obstacles that would arise in one’s practice and how to overcome them and guide us through the Four Foundations of Mindfulness as taught in the Satipaṭṭhāna Sutta. We will take an experiential approach to study the Sutta and will learn the methods to develop concentration and wisdom, which will lead the way to achieve the highest and ultimate Happiness.
