"When one is overcome by this wretched, clinging desire in the world, one's sorrows increase like grass growing up after a lot of rain."

Previous Quote

There is no satisfying the senses, not even with a shower of money. "The senses are of slight pleasure and really suffering." When a wise man has realised this, he takes no pleasure, as a disciple of the Buddhas, even in the pleasures of heaven. Instead he takes pleasure in the elimination of craving.

— Gautama Buddha
