I really enjoyed that. One piece of wisdom I gathered from that was this: He said why do rich people have peace-b/c they have.... then he said why do monks have peace-b/c they don't have.... I really liked that for I often feel I have to "not have" to have peace, whereas peace is unconditional.
Praise The One Lord for the Continuing Gift of Wisdom He Offers us.

I agree with him. Peace and lasting happiness are not dependent upon what you do or do not have. I'm reminded of a koan wherein a monk asks another: "If a man comes to you with nothing, what would you say to him?" The other monk replies: "Throw it away!"
