Piyavadana

“It is not at all wrong for humans to use nature to make useful things, but we must not exploit nature to make useful things, but we must not exploit nature unnecessarily. It is good to live in a house, to have medicines, and to be able to drive somewhere in a car. In the right hands, a machine is not a luxury, but something very useful. A camera, for example, can be used to make pictures that pronote understanding.

Bur everything has its limit. Too much consumption or effort to make money is no good. Neither is too much contentment.”

His Holiness the Dalai Lama
