Description

Album 26: The Four Types of Happiness (Based on the Anana Sutta)

In the pursuit of happiness, many chase wealth, status, and fleeting pleasures - only to find emptiness in their hearts.

But the Buddha, out of deep compassion, offered a clear and timeless teaching for laypeople in the Anana Sutta - guidance to attain true happiness in daily life.

This album brings to life the Four Types of Happiness the Buddha taught: the joy of rightful ownership through honest effort, the deeper joy of sharing and giving, the peace of living without debt or harm to others, and the supreme happiness of a blameless life rooted in virtue.

These songs are more than melodies; they are reminders.

Reminders to work ethically, to give generously, to live responsibly, and to uphold virtue.

When we follow this noble path, happiness doesn’t just visit - it stays.

Let these songs inspire you to live with wisdom and compassion.

As laypeople, may you heed the Buddha’s words and discover joy that is not only worldly but also rooted in inner peace and moral clarity.
