Happiness doesn't exist (kind of)

My thanks to mindways for the pointer to this fine exposition of the heart of Buddhism. While it's by no means the complete be-all and end-all, this nicely summarizes one of the most central tenets. It's very unintuitive to most folks, because it is *so* contradictory to our upbringing, but more and more I've found it to be quite correct...

Not a problem -- asynchronous posting will do that. (The advantage of Wave's see-every-character style was that it avoided this problem, although I don't think it was worth the immense distraction factor...)
