Attachment and greed do not bring us satisfaction or happiness. The more we harbour and nurture those emotions, the more they will disturb the stability of our mind. More seriously, we may also lose our hard-earned merit and be faced with adverse consequences. When we start to think deeply in our hearts, those poisons cannot really harm the one that we wish to hurt, but instead they will only throw us into darkness. Thus liberation will become farther away from us than we could have imagined.~ by Gharwang Rinpoche in Sikkim.11/5/13
