"The happiness we should be looking for is not just for this short-term life, the happiness of this very short-time life. It’s not only that. If we analyze through meditation, we’ll see that this happiness is only suffering. To the hallucinated mind it’s happiness, but with Dharma wisdom, with inner wisdom, we see only suffering. If we analyze we see it’s just temporary samsaric pleasure, which is only suffering. The hallucinated mind apprehends it as pleasure. Because in the view of the hallucinated mind it appears as pleasure, and that’s what we believe, we become attached to that. This view only cheats us; it only deceives us. Then continuously, that attachment makes us become caught in Samsara. Like a drug addiction, the more we take the more we need. With desire, attachment, having more grasping doesn’t make us free from attachment; it only causes us to become more caught up in attachment, trapping us in that whole package of problems. It brings a whole package of problems. Just using that as an example, it doesn’t make us free from that; it only makes us become more caught up in it." --Lama Zopa Rinpoche The Path to Ultimate Happiness https://www.facebook.com/197994450850/posts/10156840519980851/
