I'm a Buddhist. And my basic view...there are many schools of Buddhism. So when I say I'm a Buddhist, somebody could be listening to this and saying, "Well, I believe differently." Many Buddhists believe different things. My school of Buddhism is very simple:
Be happy and content now. This is heaven, this is hell, this is nirvana. It's not outside, it's on the inside. And the way you find happiness and contentment is in here, not out there.
The great Western disease is sweeping the world: "I'll be happy when..." When I get the car, when I get the BMW, when I get the condo, I'll be happy when.
We've all got the same "When." When's an old person going to die? Be happy now!
