Simple Joys is a weekly series of reflections by Piya Tan, with the singular aim of inspiring us to look at the brighter side of life, to see our natural potential for inner and true happiness. At the same time, the reflections show that the Buddha Dharma, in its original teachings, is like the fresh air, and we need only to breathe it in, as we feel what we reflect on. The reflections are mostly in prose poetry, which is Piya’s favourite style of presenting the Dharma in his writings. Piya often quips: “If someone comes to you with a personal problem, and you feel it is a little too heavy for you, pass that person a copy of Simple Joys!” These reflections also aim to make us happy, so that we go on to joyfully sit in meditation, and spread our lovingkindness to others.
