In times when I want more material stuff in life, I meditate on this Buddhist wisdom.
Hunger: the foremost illness.
Fabrications: the foremost pain.
For one knowing this truth
As it actually is,
Unbinding
Is the foremost ease.
Freedom from illness: the foremost good fortune.
Contentment: the foremost wealth.
Trust: the foremost kinship.
Unbinding: the foremost ease.
-Dhammapada, 15, translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu.
