# Francis Lucille > Francis Lucille, Non Duality. Love, Truth, Beauty. ## Posts - [How dare you be happy?](https://francislucille.com/how-dare-you-be-happy/): Question: I heard you say happiness is impersonal, and my question is, how dare you be happy? Answer: What is behind that is “The world is a mess. How dare you be happy in this…?”And you would have a point if it were true that happiness is dependent upon the world.So, if happiness has to be found in the world, good luck with that.You never do it.So, how dare you be happy is predicated upon the belief that the place to find happiness is the world, the world, the body, the mind, and because obviously there is no happiness in […] - [Latest Videos on YouTube](https://francislucille.com/latest-videos/): Recent YouTube uploads: video dialogues with Francis Lucille - [The Fundamental Question](https://francislucille.com/the-fundamental-question/): The 3 Steps for Liberation: 1. I am That which perceives rather than anything perceived. 2. How do I know that this Awareness which I know myself to be is limited and dependent on the body or the mind? – I don’t 3. Live in the freedom of this not knowing - [Eternity Now](https://francislucille.com/example-dont-settle-for-less-than-peace-and-happiness-a-retreat-with-francis-lucille/): Francis Lucille speaks about one thing: awareness, our true nature, the Absolute. This is the ancient teaching of nonduality, the common ground of Advaita Vedanta, Ch’an Buddhism, Zen, Taoism and Sufism, the same common ground which is at the core of the message left behind by the founders of all great religions. In a loving, open, blissfully peaceful manner, Francis leads us in “Eternity Now” to a deep understanding that what we are is love, the pure awareness behind and between all the activities of the mind. - [The Perfume of Silence](https://francislucille.com/the-perfume-of-silence/): “The perfume of Silence” is a book about enlightenment, spiritual awakening, self realization, meditation, awareness, consciousness, happiness, love, relationships, psychological suffering and human predicament. Based largely on actual dialogues between Francis Lucille, a spiritual teacher of non-duality, and some of his disciples, the music of freedom that it conveys resonates between the words, and gives the reader an inkling of the peace and happiness that are experienced in the presence of an authentic master. Francis Lucille was for over twenty years a close friend and disciple of Jean Klein, a well recognized French teacher of non-duality. They both belong to […] ## Pages - [Attendees TEST](https://francislucille.com/attendees-test/): [event_attendees event_id=”5333″ limit=”10″] - [Suggestions?

Advaita, often translated as non-duality, is not a philosophy or a religion. It is the experience of our true nature, which is revealed as absolute happiness, love, and beauty. Advaita, in its purest form, is transmitted from generation to generation by a line of sages. Ramana Maharshi, Krishna Menon, and Jean Klein were such sages who taught in the 20th century. Their approach was distinctive in that they directly pointed […] - [Teachings](https://francislucille.com/teachings/) - [Events](https://francislucille.com/events-retreats/): All Events See the full list of events by date or location. 16 October 2024 my new eventOctober 16 – November 30 RANCHO “LA LUZ”, Via Vaquero Rd Temecula, CA 49555 United States some description….
