Yoshi asked his master, “Sensei, why am I still unhappy after following your teachings?”
The master, gazing at the Cherry Blossoms, replied, “Happiness is like sunlight – it cannot be seized, only reflected. Let me share a tale.”
A monk found a magic lamp. But the genie refused the monk’s wishes to end hunger and create universal happiness.

The master smiled, “Happiness isn’t forced or demanded. It blooms naturally in those content with the present.”
But why couldn’t the genie end hunger? Concluded tomorrow!
