“…Although the research base is not particularly extensive, we find an accumulating body of evidence looking at happiness-related experiences in various contexts. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis, for instance, has been employed to explore such experiences in relation to situations as diverse as childbirth (Larkin, 2018), gardening (Clatworthy et al, 2017), religious conversion (Iqbal et al, 2019), and awe (Bonner & Friedman, 2011). For instance, the latter reported that experiences of awe are characterised by ten themes: profoundness; connectedness; the numinous; fear; vastness; existential awareness; openness and acceptance; ineffable wonder; presence; and heightened perceptions.…”

The Architecture of Happiness

et al. 2022

Happiness is an increasingly prominent topic of interest across academia. However, relatively little attention has been paid to how it is created, especially not in a multidimensional sense. By ‘created’ we do not mean its influencing factors, for which there is extensive research, but how it actually forms in the person. The work that has been done in this arena tends to focus on physiological dynamics, which are certainly part of the puzzle. But they are not the whole picture, with psychological, phenomenological, and socio cultural processes also playing their part. As a result, this paper offers a multidimensional overview of scholarship on the ‘architecture’ of happiness, providing a stimulus for further work into this important topic.

“…Present-day the propagation of religious sentiment influence Buddhists group and provoke prejudiced sentiment against Muslim community, obliquely proven the element of Islamophobic among Buddhists (Ahmad Faizuddin Ramli et al 2020;Sharma et al 2019). In fact, the possible explanation of the phenomenon between Muslim-Buddhist shows conflicting principles of peace, tolerance, and compassion teaching embedded in Buddhism (Iqbal et al 2017; Keyes 2016). The accusation against Muslims causes Buddhist religious hatred toward Muslim community.…”

Recent public concern over Muslim–Buddhist relations in South and Southeast Asia has emerged because of massive violence against Muslim minority groups in the region's Buddhist-majority states. The Buddhist have expressed fear that the rise in the Muslim population would force out the Buddhists, as has happened in several historical records. Thus, in this article, we provide a preliminary analysis of Buddhist-Muslim relations from past to present as it unfolds the various forms of relations, conflicts, and harmonies. This article also analyses the driving factors that contribute to the relation of both religious societies in terms of politics, religion, and economics. This research is qualitative. The research method used is descriptive-analytical by emphasizing content analysis of data information from various books and articles covering the Muslim and Buddhism encounters. Despite certain polemics having occurred along the relationship, the study shows that Muslim-Buddhist encounter occurred in harmony, particularly when relation was rooted in tolerance. Studies affirm that disputed facts ought to be critically updated to establish the causes, which will also help address the misunderstanding between religious societies.
