Don’t Give In

~ By Buddhadāsa Bhikkhu ~

The first group increases the things that respond to the needs of hunger and takes this to be happiness; the second group decreases the things that respond to the needs of hunger and takes this to be happiness. The first group feels that the more they yield to craving the better; the second group feels that the more they overcome craving the better.
