Emory University's Center for the study of Law and Religion brought on the biggest international pro on happiness.. the Dalai Lama, yesterday to chat in a round table with major voices of world religions: the Most Rev. Katharine Jefferts Schori, presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church; British chief Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks and Islamic scholar Seyyed Hossein Nasr of George Washington University.

The day before the Happiness Summit, the Dalai Lama also gave a talk on the need to balance science and spirituality, including a thoughtful warning that...Intelligence alone is dangerous.

And those are some fascinating video snippets available now plus a highlight reel if you will, with key quotes all circling back to "wellbeing." That's a redefined way to speak of happiness in this world -- or the next -- that works for almost all faiths and philosophies.

Bogle also interviews Matthieu Ricard, author and Buddhist monk and a participant in the Emory project who tells her that the secret of happiness now is ceding control of the outer world, realizing that...our control of the outer world is limited, temporary and often illusory. In fact, it is our mind that translates outer conditions into happiness or suffering, and, even though it may not be easy to transform one's mind, it is something that lies within the reach of our capacities."

How do you define happiness? Did your religious tradition shape this view? Does "wellbeing" mean the same thing? Is it more important to focus on eternal happiness -- salvation -- than the here-and-now?
