It's quite important to understand that things are posited virtuous or non-virtuous in dependence on the result they bring. Therefore, it's never the case that creating non-virtue brings happiness and that creating virtue brings suffering. We can have assurance in our mind that when we create virtue, it definitely will bring happiness. It may not happen immediately, but we don't need to have doubt in our mind about how this dependent arising works. —Venerable Thubten Chodron in 24 The Gomchen Lamrim 01-16-16 http://livestream.com/sravastiabbey/gomchenlamrim
