Yeah, so trust HHDL to take what I’ve been trying to say for the last few years and nail it in a single paragraph:
We have different degrees of happiness and different kinds of suffering. Material objects give rise to physical happiness, while spiritual development gives rise to mental happiness. Since we experience both physical and mental happiness, we need both material and spiritual development. This is why, for our own good and that of society we need to balance material progress with inner development.
– His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
