Material Excess

Materialism Can End in Buddhahood
by Ta-Wan


We may well concern our minds as we watch the world increase in material consumption, but materialism may well result in Buddhahood.

These devices we are using to read on the World Wide Web will all become old very quickly. New devices will age faster than the ones before them as technology advances move exponentially on. At some time, we'll reach the event horizon where new will become old so quickly that material goods will devalue greatly to the ego.
