We know when we become angry, the underlying nature is self attachment. We angry that someone hurt ourself.
Same goes for jealousy, greed, phobia.
But when people laugh, what is the ultimate reason behind. Is it bcoz seeing something funny? But why seeing funny thing will laugh?
I am asking this in order to have a clearer view of how various emotional feelings arise in my mind.
It is good that you are montioring all the mind keeps changing angry, jealousy,greed ,phobia,etc....You have to foucs and be consious at starting point and end point of state.For example, When someone hurt you, you realize you mind changes to angry state and after that you realize the angry mind will cool down .This is arising and perishing natual Dhamma in body and mind.Why angry mind come out from your the body? You attached to body and mind.So you should know only one things changes of states in mind for angry,jealousy, greed, phobia,etc mind..Don't let your mind know angry,jealousy,greed,phobia,etc.... This is the basic Dhamma that lead to Sotappan (ariya) for first enlighenment.Don't stop it.For every times changes of mind (jeaslousy changes,greed changes and phobic changes,etc) , don't miss it .Concentrate and foucs all these chages.
no reason ,just laugh lah
When we observe a change from state 1 to state 2 which seldom come to our mind before, causing us to let go the attachment of state 1, it is the letting go of attachment that makes us so happy.
But during this change, if one instead attached to state 2, he will not be as happy.
We need state 2 to break the attachment of state 1 but if overdoing it, we won't reach the "no state" kind of happiness.
Just my opinion, any comments? or is everyone here too long never laugh already.
What I will be interested to find out is how to prolong this feeling of laugh.
No need to laugh non-stop but at least feel the joy all the time.
Whenever something good happen, we feel very happy, but that last for only a very short period.
After that, our expection go up and the joy disappear.

There is nothing wrong with laughing, enlighened people continue to laugh.

When you're amused, you laugh.

Why prolong the feeling of laughter? I don't think that is necessary. Just practice the dharma and one naturally be blissful and at peace.
All the mind inside the body is due to Dhamma outside world. let me tell you the example ......When someone clap two palms to each other, the clapping sound come out from the hit of two palms. In the same way for eye sense door, the light wave from object stike or hit the eye object or door , the eye consciousness arises in the body. This eye consciousness consists of feeling, name memory,changes of state, and knowing of eye consciousness.Light wave is Dhamma in outside the body.Eye object is inside the body.These eye door and light wave is the matter. The stike of eye door and light object give birth the eye consciousness .When the eye door is closed or light of the object disappear , the previous eye consciousness is dead.This processing is very fast in the state.Why you laugh when you see the something? The eye consciousness give you the feelings, name memory and changes of state and knowing of eye conscioussness.Why you cannot continue to laugh ? The feeling of knowing eye consciousness is already dead.This is Dhamma nature.I use the example for eye door. The same processing is happening in other 5 sense doors. What should you realize this eye conscioussness processing? You should realize cause and effect theory from the body. The cause of eye object and ligth wave from outside objects hit or strike each other , the effect of eye conscious is given birth or arises. In a few micro seconds , this eye consciousness of arising and perishing is repeatly happening in the body.This is change of state of mind theory.How much you can be aware of changing state of mind depend on your response of awarenees and concentration.
Let me explain you more in details.
I told you eye consciousness consists of the feelings, name memory and changes of state and knowing of eye conscioussness. Let say when I see gold bar in the shop, I know this is gold bar. I like it. I want to buy it if I have money. This is normal person knowledge.
For who know and aware of the processing of eye consicosness ,He will differeniate and filter the eye consciousness into the feelings, name memory and changes of state and knowing of eye conscioussness.
I like the gold. I don't like the good. This is feeling of mind come from eye consciousness. This is gold I can recognize from my memory. This is name memory from eye consciousness. After my mind is cling to other 5 sense doors except eye door, what I see gold inside the body perishes . This is changes of state.What you are aware in seeing is eye consciousness.
how is the feelings, name memory and changes of state and knowing of conscioussness demage permanently?
In some part of the brain or body is dead or any six sense door is demaged ,some people cannot feel , lost memory, lost consciousness and becomes sad from the six sense door.

I don't meant that laughing is wrong, just want to see the cause and the process at a subtle level.
Laughing may be wrong or right depending on the reasons or cause and effect.Don't laugh with bad mood, anger ,jealousy, greed,etc.
hahaha
hohoho
kiakiakiak
You need various conditions like your breathe, lungs, your mouth, the organs which interact with each other to produce laughter.

hmm i think work with your inherent views first.
What you think leads to your speech and actions.
Over time, it becomes a habit.

Don't laugh due to ignorance as well. Some people laugh with seemingly no bad intention, but still it is an act of ignorance. In some situations we should give rise to compassion instead of laughing. For example some monks/nuns were amused at a bird trapped in a room, and so they laughed. But my master told them not to laugh and it was an act of ignorance, but rather to have compassion for the suffering bird and open the windows for the bird to leave.
laughing is laughing.
Laughing does not have inherent existence.
As soon as one never kill or eliminate all the defilements from the body and mind, for speak,action and thinking condtion, one can attach with any defilements.
Laughing is laughing .It is correct.But If one's laughing is mixed with or attached to defilements such as bad mood, anger ,jealousy, greed,etc., It will cause the bad karma.Don't believe what I said.If you believe what I said, you get only book knowledge.Review you mind yourself at laughing moment for the correct answer
