How to be happy in life

     As a follower of Buddha ,I feel being happy in life is essential to a person.The Great one has formulated some of essentials for us mortals to follow.As per The Enlightened One,The world is full of suffering.This suffering has a cause which must be eliminated before suffering can be abolished.The cause of suffering is attachment.The passion for things for relationships and passion to dream excessively.

Middle path Buddha
Buddha Middle Path


     So reiterating what Buddha says is, follow the middle path of living. Don't be extremist in your approach because loads of passion causes pain and suffering. See things with a vision of detachment, do things which you are supposed to do and never be obsessed with anything.

     The five percepts are important to a Buddhist to live a happy life

1.Do not steal what is not rightfully yours.
2.Don't harm any living being.
3.Don't indulge in unchaste behavior.
4.Don't indulge in telling lies.
5.Don't indulge in intoxicating drugs or alcohol.
