Abstract<br/>This Independent Study Project explored the concept of happiness with a special reference to Ānanyasutta in Anguttara Nikāya. The purpose of this study is to prove that Buddha has contributed welfare and happiness to laypeople. The methodology of the research approached a qualitative method to analyze the concept of happiness from primary and secondary sources. Based on the qualitative method, the research discussed the Buddhist concept of happiness, the background of happiness, the types of happiness, and the path to achieve it. To convey comprehension of the concept, it divided into three chapters as follows: the first chapter, which disussed the background of happiness in the Buddhist context, such as in Anguttara Nikāya, illustrated the Buddha's teaching of four kinds of happiness for laypersons knowns as Ānanyasutta and the four paths enhancing happiness. The second chapter demonstrated four types of happiness, including in Ānanyasutta: ownership (atthisukha), enjoyment (bhogasukha), freedom from debt (ānanyasukha), and blamelessness (ānavijjasukha),. The third chapter elaborated on four ways to achieve happiness that involve achievement in initiative (utthānasampadā), protection (ārakkhasampadā), good friendship (kalyanamittā), balanced living (samajīvitā), and how to maintain it. The result of this study found happiness that is appropriate for laypeople and knows the way to persuade them. In conclusion, the study analyzed that the Buddha emphasized to laypeople those who just want to be walfare and happy in the world while insufficient to attain Nibbāna. |
