"liberation from suffering"-Bubbhist works

View profile

He who climbs mountains,
who struggles with suffering.
He who is never deprived of
his pursuit of happiness.
He who finds liberation,
in a sometimes unjust world.

He who never hates and still,
finds joy in the world,
lavishing what they have,
greed never an option.
Wise with knowledge,
not forced by age.

I'm Buddhist and this is the way we view life and how to be happy no matter what. I hope you understand that you don't need everything to be happy and what you do reflects so you are and on others.
