Even if we have a well-organized outer life, it can be very difficult for us to find inner happiness because we can never be satisfied so long as we have not cut the attachments due to ego. There is no end to it — it wants more and more — without any limit.
The ego is insatiable. So it seems necessary to work on that, to free ourselves from ego, with the help of teachings, especially the Buddha's teachings ... (There) we will find all kinds of ways and means of developing peace both externally and internally.
- Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, "Invisible Realities"
