“Buddhists do not deny that there are possibilities for joy—nor do they dismiss the potential benefits of interpersonal relationships, family, a good job, or the pursuit of positive goals—but they hold that all such worldly entanglements are ultimately unsatisfactory”
― John Powers, A Concise Introduction to Tibetan Buddhism
