Portuguese to English Art/Literary Religion buddhism, spirituality

In a text containing various conversations relating primarily to Buddhism and Eastern religions.

A nossa geração começou por querer fazer a revolução no exterior de si.
Hoje qualquer jovem sabe por si mesmo que **a bem-aventurança é de regra** e vive nela.

I'm pondering the best translation of bem-aventurança here, would 'bliss' work? So far I've considered blessedness, beatitude and happiness as well. And what to do with 'de regra'? Anything connected with 'to be the rule' don't seem to be right - I'm wondering if it could loosely be translated as 'is what matters', but would welcome other suggestions if I'm on the wrong track.

thanks in advance
