Altruism, Love, Compassion, and Happiness

"All the joy the world contains has come through wishing happiness for others. All the misery the world contains has come through wanting pleasure for oneself." Shantideva

"Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared." Buddha

Altruism is the practice of selfless giving and helping others without any expectation of reward or recognition.

Love or Loving-Kindness is the altruistic wish that all beings find Happiness and the causes of Happiness. Altruistic Love is characterized by unconditional Kindness toward all beings.

Compassion is the form that Love takes when it is confronted with the Suffering of others. Compassion is the wish that all beings be freed from Suffering and the causes of Suffering.

The foundations of Happiness are Altruism, Love and Compassion.

If our goal is to achieve true Happiness, how can we cultivate Altruism, Love, and Compassion?

This 90-minute program will be divided between Geshe-la's talk and a question-and- answer period.

Limited to the first 100 people
