I had the honor, a couple of months ago, to set in on a lecture by his holyness, the Dalai Lama. His amazing joyfulness made my mind wonder about the origin of his path.

You cannot help but be impressed with the life of Buddha, regardless of your particular religion (or lack, thereof). When seeing his people were sickness and dying, he couldn't help to take notice and felt it was his duty to try to help.

He decided, according to several historical documents, the only way to do this was to achieve enlightenment and pass on his enlightenment to others. He also decided in order to do this, first he would have to give up all his worldly possessions and live without.

Buddha defied his parents, left his palace and lived in a state of fasting and doing without. Maybe it wasn't that difficult for him, but I know this wouldn't be my first choice.

Most people don't want to give up the good life. They think that money is a way to better our lives. That is why the lottery is so successful.

Of course, around 500 BC, health care at its best was probably nothing more than guesswork.

Buddha wasn't concerned about his own health but instead wanted to ease the suffering of those around him. He denied himself the comforts of living in the palace in order to do this.

Anyone who has rubbed the belly on a statue of Buddha knows that he did reach enlightenment, and through that enlightenment, he did finally pick up a fork or chopsticks and eat something.

Modern day nutritionists would probably look at his statue and see he was just a little bit overweight and would not recommend this as a healthy weight. We can't really say for sure if the Buddha belly was a factual picture or just represents a spiritual abundance, but you cant deny the smile on his face.

Even when surrounded by the common man, there is no evidence to support his being a sickly sort. Of course, you might say this was the reward of enlightenment, but I think the power of positive thinking is the real source.

Buddha lived without anger, without hate, and didn't seem the type to hold grudges. How many of us can say the same? It doesn't have to be a big life tragedy to get one down. Sometimes its dwelling on the small stuff so much that we are consumed with negativity.

There are many studies that have shown us a positive outlook can greatly improve or maintain ones health. The same goes with negativity. Depression and the like can just as easily destroy ones health.

I agree but I also believe that one sometimes needs a starting point in order to focus. If weight loss and/or high blood pressure are your ailments, I recommend my Weight Loss Breeze program or my High Blood Pressure program. If its stress that's led to headaches you should try my Migraine and Headache program. They are all natural and guaranteed to show amazing results!
