Santa Clara Meditation Happiness Matters – Where should we seek joy and happiness?
Each of us have something that makes us happy and joyful. I feel happy when I think that I have pretty clothes, a nice house, a lot of money, and the health and emotional stability of my family. However, a very small change came to my daily life after I started meditation. It is the joy of empathy.
I work as a freelance meditation instructor in a school in Korea. Teaching children to meditate and help them get rid of the stress that builds up every day. For they are pure, they follow the meditations very well I teach. And when they let go of worries, anger, and depression through meditation, they always say thank you to me. I am so grateful for such children. Teaching meditation at school doesn’t give me any honor or much money, but when my children smile brightly at me, I am grateful and happy. I make eye contact with the children throughout class, feel each other’s feelings, and encourage each other. Today, before writing this article, I had time to prepare for the next week’s class. I wonder what the children will tell me in the next class. I miss to see those children. I know true happiness comes from coexistence.
