I'm right now working on an application for increasing happiness in everyday life, inspired by practical teachings in Buddhism about happiness for laypeople.
My question is: What did the Buddha say about happiness for laypeople?
I have found these Sutras helpful:
What else did the Buddha say about happiness for laypeople?. (Is there a compilation of teachings regarding this?)
Grateful for help and with kind regards, Tord
There is a handy list of linked suttas at this link IV. The Happiness Visible in This Present Life
P.A. Payutto's A Constitution for Living is most excellent & includes the sutta reference for each list.
The Maha-Mangala Sutta is an excellent sutta.
If you want to be happy, just give up everything in your mind . What I meant was do not have any kind of attachment to anything, at least try not to have attachments , the lesser the number of attachments the more happy you will be.
Example :
You can have every physical thing in the world , (money , cars, houses etc) but do not have any kind of attachment towards them in mind. That does not mean give up everything and go to be a monk . It means give up everything just from your mind , physically you work with them use them and do everything, but without making an attachment in mind. If you do this , you will be happier than ever ,
