66. “Bhikkhus, happiness is of two types. What two?

“The happiness that comes from the assets one has acquired, and the happiness that is experienced by freeing oneself from all assets and acquisitions altogether.

“And among these two, Bhikkhus, the happiness that is experienced by freeing oneself from all assets and acquisitions altogether, is indeed the greatest.”
