hi there. it's ok if you're not going to edit it - although I think it would make a good contribution as entry for 'Happiness'
best wishes - also to DNA, wherever he may be

Hmm, while the quote is wonderful, it's a little short for an entry on happiness... also, we have an entry http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A195626 on Buddha already.
An entry on Happiness would be great - but you'd have to say more than one line!

Succinct and to the point, I thought. It doesn't claim to be an entry on everyone's idea of happiness, just the Buddha's. But then what do i know about that

True, but the Buddha wrote and said rather a lot about happiness. In fact, if I recall, he created a religion largely based on it...

thank you for liking it - and considering edition. I already put it as an appendix to the entry on The Buddha. And if I ever get around to formulate an entry that covers the whole subject I'll get back to you.
thank you for working for the h2g2 - and keeping one of DNA's brilliant ideas alive
cheers to you

Short and sweet, but I'm still left wanting a bit more.
What do others think?

Ummm, me too.
Dare I suggest the sin bin or writing workshop?

I'll second a move to the workshop I guess...

no need. I added it to the entry on the Buddha - I think that's were it belongs.

Editorial Note: This conversation has been moved from 'The h2g2 Writing Workshop' to 'Peer Review Sin Bin'.
We've moved this Conversation because the suggested changes have already been incorporated into the Buddha entry - so it's not so much a 'sin' bin as a move to keep the Writing Workshop clean.
