The best things in life have to do with love and not hatred. Love cannot be made to order. Love cannot have a price. Love is priceless and yet it is free.
Lord Bo Tien like all saints of all religions advocate love without borders for all beings and in this respect, love must begin with self. Love for others can only happen if there is love for self.
Why we may ask? The concept of loving kindness is profound and is in the 1975 message of the lord saint.

When there is love for life especially one's own, there is contentment with whatever life one has.
With contentment, one treasures and cherish life so that there is health of both mind and spirit.
Both health and contentment favor self confidence and the person is his own best friend.
All three cannot be purchased with money though money may play some part.
In essence, they are free. They are the three loves - health, contentment and self confidence which all must have.
All three help the individual to have the best of all which is the liberation of the soul through spiritual. This is the ultimate love of life.
While money may play some part, we cannot attach any price to the foursome. We cannot buy them but we can cultivate them.
The foursome are indeed the four best things in life. They are (1) health, (2) contentment (3) self-confidence and (4) spiritual liberation.
They are wholesome. They are the best blessings in life.
They are wholesome. They are the best blessings in life.
Buddha Gautama says,
Health is the highest gain,
Contentment is the greatest wealth,
Self confidence is the best friend
Enlightenment is the real bliss.

They make us free from the hang-ups in life and they are free as well. The best things in life are free as they cannot be purchased though money can help in some way.
We cannot put a price tag to any of them but in this modern world, we still need money to get things moving. But money cannot buy anyone of them.
Can we buy friends? At best, they are social escorts of sorts.
Can we buy health? No but we can cultivate health and money helps but is not an item of health.
Can we buy contentment? It is how we feel and the inner attitude that count towards contentment.
Can we buy enlightenment and a place in heaven among God and the saints? We cannot or can we?.
No monks, pastors or priests will be able to sell you a place in heaven. If they say they can do so, there must be a problem and the problem is not with us, not with God and saints, not with the church or temple and not with the religion or sect. The problem is with them.
