CRAVINGS CAN CAUSE ONE TO SUFFER MORE
Master Jun Hong Lu: The Buddha teaches us, “It is not the man who has too little but the man who craves more that suffers”; Their desires render them “psychologically impoverished”.
A greedy person can be rich yet feels poor while a contented person can be poor yet feels abundant. This tells us that we can be poor but at the same time, we can feel the abundance in our heart. For some people, although their family is rich, they feel miserable on the inside. It is all about one’s mental attitude.
