What is the reason for a Buddha's happiness?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"A Buddha's happiness is uncaused, arising from choiceless awareness and the freedom from desire; he simply witnesses life, untouched by praise or blame, loss or gain."
According to Osho, a Buddha’s happiness is uncaused; it flows from choiceless awareness, egolessness, and freedom from desire. With nothing to gain or lose, he neither clings nor resists—he simply witnesses. Therefore outer events cannot disturb his inner sky; praise, blame, loss, or gain pass by, while his bliss remains self-sufficient and serene.
Buddha is happy because he wants nothing and just watches, so nothing upsets him.
