His Holiness the 42nd Sakya Trizin, Ratna Vajra Rinpoche, bestowed this teaching on November 28, 2023, in Lima, Peru, at the request of Sangha Activa Lima Peru.
Happiness is something we all talk about; it’s even a lively topic of research by scientific experts. But talk and research have yet to produce conclusive and definitive answers, and genuine happiness seems to remain like a mirage in the desert. This brief teaching—simple and straightforward—shows us the path to genuine, lasting, and ultimate happiness. Following the path of Buddhadharma doesn’t require extraordinary efforts or great sacrifices. Instead, the challenge lies in its simplicity, in acceptance, and in having the simple courage to implement it. The editorial staff wishes the best of luck to everyone on the path, including ourselves!

From conception until the end of our lives, we are in constant pursuit of happiness. This instinct is not just human; it’s a fundamental aspect of all sentient beings. In our quest for happiness, we exhaust various means, dedicating our lives to chasing after certain people, objects, matters, or emotions, mistakenly believing that these are the keys to happiness. Yet, do we truly understand what genuine happiness is? Are we heading in the right direction? Are we using the right methods? You might not believe it, but happiness is actually simple. As long as we employ the right approach, it is readily available, as revealed in this wonderful teaching.
