给你全世界，你会幸福吗？
The Nature Of Happiness
幸福的本质
In whatever work or research we engage in, we must begin by understanding its basic nature. Thus, let us first establish — What is happiness? What is the nature of happiness?
无论做任何事情，或者研究任何事物，首先要对它的本质有个准确的认识。所以, 我们先来界定——什么是幸福？幸福的本质是什么?
A Chinese book titled What is Happiness addresses this question from the viewpoint of 155 experts from around the world. For instance, happiness is having a stable income; happiness is harmony in the family; happiness is travelling around the world; happiness is just a glass of water, etc. There is no consensus.
有一本书叫作《幸福是什么》。书中汇集了全球155位大师探讨、谈论幸福的观点。譬如：幸福是稳定的收入，幸福是和睦的家庭，幸福是周游全世界，幸福仅仅是一杯水……林林总总、各说不一。
Buddhism believes the nature of happiness is neither a steady income nor harmony in the family, neither the joy of seeing the world nor a glass of water. Although all may bring a sense of well-being, they are not the nature of happiness.
佛教认为，幸福的本质并不是稳定的收入，和睦的家庭，也不是环游世界或一杯水。虽然通过这些途径，或许可以给我们带来一种幸福感，但幸福的本质并不是这些。
