What is true joy in life?
This is a difficult question – and one that has occupied a great many thinkers and philosophers.
Joy can quickly give way to suffering. Joy is short and suffering long.
Also what passes for joy in society is superficial. It cannot compare with the joy derived from the Mystic Law.
The key then lies in cultivating a state of mind where we can declare without reservation that life is a joy.
This is the purpose of our Buddhist Practice.

The Search For Enlightenment 
Apr 17, 2011 @ 16:25:19
I’ve been searching long and hard since March 06 of this year of my new journey. It’s been a journey of many highs and them some hard crashes back to realitey. I’ve lost sight of my journey, my intentions, my compassion for others, and had struggled within with some low animal-like knowledge which drove me away believing in the strength I had in myself. I was letting outside influences convince me that my own spiritual journey is not genuine within in myself. It has come from personal experience as well. I’ve felt the anger and embraced it and felt the ignorance of my joy in the presence of this person. I left with my partner and witnessed her walk ever so close behind us on the other side of the highway. Anger was all I felt and witnessed upon her face and it shamed me and I lost my direction. I let that anger guide me to a place I didn’t and never wanted it to go and it will stop today! I will not be the dark passenger to that anger or any other anger not my own today. That in it self will give me joy today. Thank you so much. Am.ma sa’ (Gitsenimx for good day) Have a good day and take care. _ :^)
