Pure Mountain Tao

Look at a piece of gold or any other worldly object. Is it made of happiness? Is there any material item that actually contains happiness? Of course this is not the case, so then why does the foolish mind become deluded and constantly seek out happiness in such material things, somehow thinking they will bring happiness?

Lasting happiness and dare I say happiness of any real value comes from security within. Walking the Path and becoming one with the universe brings joy and contentment that no material object can ever bring.
