Assumptions and Conclusions: Fundamental Distinctions Between Tibetan Buddhist and Western Approaches to Happiness

---

The cultivation of happiness is the stated goal of Tibetan Buddhism and
of Western models of psychotherapy alike. Yet these two traditions differ sharply in
their identification of the conditions that give rise to happiness. Since both traditions
present themselves as empirical systems of investigation open to confirmation or
refutation, it may prove useful for practitioners in each tradition to become familiar
with each others’ theories and claims regarding the causes of happiness. This paper
discusses the questions asked and models proposed by Western psychologists
researching happiness and how these differ from the questions asked and models
proposed by the Tibetan Buddhist tradition of psychology. It also presents an
overview of scientific findings related to each of these models, and suggests possible
benefits of investigating the basis for underlying assumptions of theories of happiness
and the effects of such assumptions on the outcomes derived from different
models of psychology.
