+You might say, "Don’t pleasurable experiences give rise to happiness?"
+Although for ordinary people pleasures may appear to be related to happiness
+at the time they are enjoyed, in the end they are their undoing.  They are,
+the Sovereign of the Conquerors said, like the fruit of the kimba tree, which
+grows in the western continent of Aparagodaniya: its skin is attractive but it
+is unpleasant inside; or it tastes delicious when one first eats it, but later
+it makes one ill.  So, advises Nagarjuna, give up these pleasures, for it is
+the chains—the afflictive emotions—of attachment to pleasure that tightly
+bind the worldly in the prison of samsara.

+     Kyabje Kangyur Rinpoche", published by Shambhala Publications.
