English term or phrase: I am happiness
I am looking for a Chinese phrase that conveys this in a philosophical/religious/spiritual context. My difficulty is with finding something in Chinese that means exactly this, implying identity between a person (I) and the emotional state (happiness), rather than just meaning "I am happy." The context is a religious teacher's realisation that his life is already/consists of happiness, that his existence is an experience of happiness. Something suitable from either classical or modern Chinese would be welcome.
