Gen-la Jampa
Gen-la Jampa’s insightful analysis highlights an important truth that is often overlooked in today’s world. While it is true that technology and external material conditions have improved our lives in countless ways, it is equally true that they cannot bring us lasting happiness. Ultimately, it is only by improving ourselves that we can truly benefit from the technology and material conditions that surround us. Then our happiness will no longer be uncertain!
