<strong>The</strong> Path to be Trodden with Joy1) Accordingly, the Buddha describes the Noble EightfoldPath as the “Path to be Trodden with Joy” (pīti-gamanīyomaggo) [S. IV 480]. <strong>The</strong> Path does not involve “suffering,vexation, despair, and anguish” [M. III 232].2) <strong>The</strong> Path is also described as “the fortunate” (bhaddaka),“the peaceful” (khema), and “the auspicious” (sovatthika).Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Karunadasa’s public lecture on<strong>Pursuit</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Happiness</strong>: <strong>The</strong> <strong>Buddhist</strong> <strong>Way</strong>64 4/13/2013
