He had everything, everything, and told people to not want anything.
Because hey if their lives are bad they shouldn’t think about it, like giving them an antidepressant, and if they’ll never have anything then tell them they shouldn’t desire anything.
Great philosophy this one.
Im noticing all of the religions are just a bunch of a-holes, rich evil a-holes that wants everything to themselves. Willing to do “miracles” even to get it.
Just because he was a prince didn’t make him the “owner of a country” and I believe he walked away from all the trappings of princely life before even starting on his path of spiritual enlightenment. I mean who knows what the real story is, I’ve read that there was a man who knew him as a prince who used to come to his teaching sessions and berate him and this was the only time he was known to have spoke out in anger at someone during his spiritual practice.
Didn’t he give it all up because it was unsatisfying… Then after 40 days under a tree he found nirvana or something and became happier/more content than he ever was. Never returned to his riches.
