Worldly Happiness is Sugar-Coated Suffering :: Luangpu Pramote Pamojjo 10 Jul 2022

I told you that worldly happiness is sugar-coated poison, and it’s horribly poisonous because it makes us get old, get sick, and die, with no escape. What is the sweet, the sugar? They are sensual pleasures: forms, sounds, odors, flavors, enjoyable touches which are all the kinds of bogus happiness that will trap fools into enjoying them. But the wise don’t cling to them. These are tools or weapons of Māra to trap us under their power tools of Māra to trap us. World beings are trapped by Māra. They strive for happiness via forms, sounds, odors, flavors, touches, but in the end, it’s empty. We have money, but eventually our money will become someone else’s. We have the house, but eventually the house will belong to someone else. We have children and a wife but eventually they will belong to someone else. Even our body will eventually be burned. It’s all empty – the world is without any essence. We have the opportunity to hear Buddha’s dhamma, so let’s get on with acquiring greater happiness, step by step. Happiness from training the mind to be calm with one object is happiness from samadhi. Happiness or bliss arising from the mind attaining the right knowledge is happiness from wisdom cultivation. Happiness from feeling nibbana is supreme happiness – bliss without tingling. Luangpu Pramote Pamojjo Wat Suansantidham 10 July 2022
