"We are bombarded by advertising designed to convince us that our happiness depends on material goods. Today's global culture tells us that having more of these goods is a measure of our success in life, and even of our value as a person. This message comes at us in many forms and from many directions, so we need a clear awareness of how greed works in order to protect ourselves from being deceived by these forces. (...) Greed is ridiculous, making us grab at things like babies grasping for a rattle!" • Karmapa, ' The Heart Is Noble ', p.61f
