We never learned how to fulfil our deepest wish for lasting happiness. Geshe-la says that he never denies modern life, but if we ignore ancient wisdom we are making a big mistake. We have a feeling that the method we are choosing to make us happy, like technology, is not working. Why? Because we are intelligent, through concentrating on external development and technological advancement in our search for happiness, we ignore internal development of virtue, such as compassion, wisdom. Then our technology becomes very powerful but our mind becomes very rough and uncontrolled.
