Advice to Rich People from the World's Happiest Man

From his hundred acre monastery in the Hamptons, Lama Bodi holds seminars, conferences and meditation retreats for the world's highest net worth individuals. He teaches Titans of industry, billionaires and heirs to vast fortunes the secrets of achieving permanent happiness using artisanal methods crafted exclusively for the very wealthy. Advice To Rich People is the first transcript of his teachings ever released to the general public. Selections from the Transcript, "Many Rich People own a dozen houses, luxury vehicles of all types, millions of dollars worth of jewelry. One lady I know owns three Caribbean islands and yet they do not feel whole. They do not feel happy, peaceful and calm. Stress, agitation, worry and panic stalk them all the days of their lives. At night worries creep between their pillow and head spilling poisonous thoughts into their ears. Pills, booze, drugs, sexual adventures, princely entertainment expenditures and luxurious travel fail to establish the ground they need to realize permanent happiness. These Rich People have the ability to be of great benefit to millions of others but at present they are not even of benefit to themselves. They have lost their way in a firestorm of pleasures that never result in achieving the equanimity that people with awakened minds experience every day. That is why I specialize in helping Rich People. By helping them become whole, they can benefit so many others because of the power of their money. A young man with us today described to me what it's like to inherit seven hundred million dollars at nineteen years of age and its relevance for his love life from college age to now. Although this man is physically attractive, strong and intelligent, those attributes were only the foundation for his success with women. After he had undergone one relationship after another and watched as they grew serious (From the side of the women he was dating) he had the realization that his lovers were as attracted to the life his money promised as they were attracted to him. His ego said, "Love me for me!" but reality said you and your wealth will always be perceived as the same. No one can love you for you alone, because you are your money. I said to him, wealth screams at people who have less. They note with their eyes, the ease of life, the cars, houses and jewelry, the perfect teeth and expensive clothes. With their ears they hear the accent of prep schools and refined spaces. Their perception is that you are lucky. Your luck can rub off on them. They too can enjoy your wealth. This can be a happy thing, I said to the young man. He protested, "How can I be happy around gold diggers? Around best friends who expect me to pay for their booze and their hotel bills?" He said getting more agitated, "They don't have jobs, their job is milking me like a dairy cow."I looked at him for a long moment and nodded my head in understanding. Give away all your money I said, and you will no longer have the problem. He stared at me. I was clearly saying the kind of thing that crazy men say. So, I repeated it. Give away all your money and then you will no longer have the problem.
