the buddha says

think like buddha, then you will know happiness, well that might not be so straight forward, but we can try a little understanding, at the least.



buddha says:

"Joy comes not through possession or ownership, but through a wise and loving heart."


i dont think this saying get rid of everything like you see some budhists do, like they get rid of literally all there posessions, and walk round in only a robe all day.

no, but what it is saying is to understand your life and what possessions are just that items that you possess.

so keep your possessions, but know what they are, and more importantly understand that they do not make you, but it is more your heart and wisdom that makes you the person you are.
