Happy Dhamma: A Path to the Cessation of Suffering

The Happy Dhamma is a practical and heartfelt guide to the Buddha's original teachings, focusing on the lived experience of meditation and insight. Drawing directly from the early Pali suttas, the book explores the four pillars of Buddhist training: virtue, generosity, meditation, and wisdom.

Author Federico Gurisatti presents a clear and compassionate path that integrates Tranquil Wisdom Insight Meditation (TWIM) developed by Bhante Vimalaramsi - a practice that combines serenity (samatha) and insight (vipassana) into a unified meditative journey. Through a gradual development of the jhānas, readers are invited to experience the Dhamma directly, uncovering the truth of Dependent Origination and the Four Noble Truths, and ultimately realizing the goal of the path: the complete cessation of suffering (Nibbāna).

With deep gratitude for his teachers and a sincere wish to share the Dhamma, Gurisatti offers a book that is both inspiring and accessible - perfect for new meditators and seasoned practitioners alike. The Happy Dhamma shines with the joy and clarity that comes from direct experience and a heart devoted to awakening.
