【Reflecting on your Future Life】- Error in happiness
Therefore, although Buddhism tells us “conceiving the impermanent to be permanent, suffering to be happiness, the selfless to have a self, and the impure to be pure,” it says that these are the four errors, and it’s absolutely true. When you say these are happiness, the reality of it is the complete opposite. What is the real purpose behind telling you that your happiness is quite flawed? Why? It is to tell us this kind of happiness is false, not ultimate, deceptive, and harmful, it’s not real happiness, and you’ve got it wrong. The real purpose for this is still to pursue true happiness. We should have a good grasp of this [concept]. Therefore, if you look at this from a shallower perspective of the present, it would seem that Buddhism and the mundane world seem to speak of two very different things, of completely the opposite. However, if you look in depth and get to the bottom of it, then what Buddhism tells us is the exact thing that we should be looking for in the mundane world. What are the people in the mundane world really looking for? Happiness! Sorry, since you don’t know the reality of happiness and you don’t know the method for pursuing happiness, even though you have spent lots of time looking for it, you’ve not found happiness but instead you had to endure great suffering! For this reason, though it’s only a small happiness in front of you, eh,you would become befuddled. It is obviously deceiving but you take it as happiness and as a result, you have to endure great suffering because of it. This is the error.

三恶趣苦 : 乐颠倒
所以佛法虽然告诉我们“常、乐、我、净”，说四颠倒，这千真万确的，说那个是快乐，事实是颠倒。可是他真正的告诉你快乐是颠倒的目的，为什么？是告诉你这个快乐是虚假的、不究竟的、骗你的、害你的，不是真快乐，你看错了；真正的目的还是要求真实的快乐，这个我们要把握得住。所以从眼前浅的地方去看，佛法跟世间讲的好像完全两码子事，完全相反；如果你更深一层追根究底去看的话，那佛法告诉我们的，才是我们世间真正要追求的。世间真正要追求的是什么？快乐嘛！但是对不起，因为你不了解快乐的真相，你也不晓得什么是追求快乐的方法，你找了半天，不但找不到快乐，受了大痛苦！所以这样的原因，就是眼前那个小小的快乐，欸，你迷糊了，明明是一个骗你的东西，你把它当做快乐，结果受了它大苦，这个才是颠倒。
