The Sermon held by Ven. Amadassana Thero at Gateway College, Sri Lanka.

‘It’s all in your mind’ –

Recently I got to listen to this sermon and it made me realise the real dilemma we find ourselves in.  We are all searching for happiness. One way or the other, that’s what we all need, right? Though the thing is, no one has really found it, so we have accepted life for what it is. Started saying “life is full of ups and downs and that’s ok. Feeling lonely? Meet some friends. Feeling lonely? Go on a date. Feeling lonely? Get into a serious relationship. Feeling lonely? Have children……. It just keeps going on and on. What ever the problem, here’s a solution. But there is also a twist, the problem never ends. This is not ok, life doesn’t have to be like this, there is another path for us, another path with no downside to it. 

In this sermon Bhante explains the real underlying problem and the permanent solution to it. Bhante teaches us how to find happiness that we’ve been searching for all our lives.
