Description: "Renunciation is not the same as giving up pleasure or denying ourselves happiness. It means giving up our unreal expectations about ordinary pleasures. These expectations themselves are what turn pleasure into pain." —Lama Yeshe Is it is real cause of happiness? Does it cause unwanted side effects? Every time we turn to it for pleasure does it make us happy? Does it bring peace Does it set us up for disappointment or pain? If you answer yes to 1 and 4 or no to 2 and 3, it can't be a real cause of happiness.
