TRUE HAPPINESS – VEN. THAY THANH

True Happiness:

Teaching at a retreat at Dong Hung Temple in Virginia Beach, Venerable Chuc Thanh shared this with the sangha: “True happiness is not money or power. Finding out who you are is the best happiness.”

Have you experienced a moment in your life when you have told yourself that you do, indeed, know who you are?  Do you agree with Chuc Thanh’s observation? Are you comfortable with who you are? Are you happy?  Is your quest concluded, or do you expect changes in how you define yourself?

Have you not yet experienced a moment in your life when you have told yourself that you know who you are? Do you agree with Chuc Thanh’s observation?  Are you comfortable with who you are?  Are you happy?  Is your quest concluded, or do you expect changes in how you define yourself?
