I was raised Buddhist, One of the oldest and richest religions in the world. Because of my Buddhist faith, I was exposed to some of the most luxurious lifestyles imaginable for a poor inner city young adult.

Buddhism taught me how to value myself. I may not get the neck work cause of my net worth, but I value myself. I realize I am a votary of the great Buddha of the latter day of the law and with that, I have a purpose.

I am a disciple of the Buddhas of heaven and earth. So with such a great teacher, I have to set a standard for myself. Having standards is important to uphold the teachings of the Buddha. With having standards I can not accept anything that doesn’t meet my standards.

How would the Buddha feel if accepted just anything? Any kind of product, any kind of treatment, any kind of life. The Buddha would want me to be happy and live my best life. Not to settle but to bravely make my destiny better and better.

  The thus come one Buddha never settled. He was a prince who blossomed into a holy man. Being a prince was not good enough for the Buddha he strived for a better world. He may have been a homeless man at the start of his journey for enlightenment but he didn’t give up.

I may not have much money and I am no prince. I hold myself in high regard. I won’t accept bullshit from anybody. You can’t piss on me and tell me it raining. I will beat the dog poop out of you before I let you treat me any old kinda way.

I can’t be anyone but my wife’s lover. I can’t look the Buddha in the eye if I were to hurt someone he welcomed so sincerely. I can’t love my wife fully while being the pleasure of another woman. I have certain standard for myself.

I hold my head high because I know the Buddha and live in accordance with the laws they have learned. I believe I’m somebody who is important. As an embasstitor for my Buddhist practice, I have to behave a certain way.

I can’t let the other Buddhists of the world feel shame. I would hurt the Buddha, Buddhists, and myself if I engaged in unsavory behavior. I won’t let the Buddhists of the world down, only uplift them.

I can’t let anyone treat me, give me, and/or persuade me. The Buddha is always listening, what he hears sometimes must hurt his feelings. I don’t want to hurt the Buddha. I only wish to make the Buddha of heaven and earth cheer and celebrate my life on earth.
