We bring to completion our journey of discovering the true source of our joy this Sunday by exploring those internal aspects that block our experience of happiness. We'll begin by asking if we feel it's somehow selfish to be joyful when there's so much suffering in the world. Are we refusing to look at the serious stuff that's happening in our world -- or in our life -- if we allow ourselves too much joy? How does the Dalai Lama reconcile his abundant joy in the face of having been exiled from his home country and witnessing the suffering of his people? As he, and other wise individuals attest, the more we connect with our own essence of joy, the more available we are to others.
