Beyond Physical Happiness

~ By Buddhadāsa Bhikkhu ~

Those caught up in the delusions of physical happiness often complain about their exceptionally bad kamma and bad fortune. When they are ill - an occasional and natural occurrence for this body - they protest about their incomparable misfortune. And when they are unsuccessful in their search for elusive good luck, they conclude that there is no justice in this world, only cruel fate.
