I learnt more about Buddhism and I felt so much bliss. What happened to me?

Hi all.

Yesterday, I was thinking about Buddhism for some reason and I decided to watch a video of the story of Budda. I sort of knew his story before, but this video gave me a better insight.

At the end of the video I cried. Buddha said if you don't fear death then it holds power over you and then he said that the only way to end suffering is by not wanting, but only giving and receiving.

This had such a profound effect on me for some reason. Everything became so clear to me. He's right about everything.

I felt so calm, so forgiving, far less angry, I thought before I spoke and I was able to concentrate so much better. I've never felt like this before in my whole life.

Even my mother said I looked different. She said my face looked like I was day dreaming.

I was also very happy. I had this sense of bliss.

The feeling has gone now, but what was this feeling and how do I get it back?

Should I meditate or is there something else I should do?

Thank you all very much.

Thank you Buddha for giving away your life of luxury in order to help us.
