Happiness: A lecture by Jaya Row
Date: May 11, 2014Time: 6:00pm to 8:30pm
Location: Bldg 1, Room 109
All humans desire happiness. However, very few of us achieve it. The main reason is because life is misleading. That which gives instant joy leads to sorrow in the end and that which appears painful in the beginning gives happiness in the long run. Row will examine the connection of happiness with compassion and nonviolence. She will discuss a unique formula for happiness by which we can gain bliss both in the immediate present as well as in the long term. It prescribes methods by which we can attain happiness at every level of our personality – sensual,
emotional, intellectual as well as spiritual.
