Happiness doesn't depend on how much you have or don't have. It is the control over your own mind that matters. You are the master of your own life and destiny. Live in simplicity and be contented with what you have and share whatever knowledge and things with your friends and your beloved ones. Learn to look at the bright and positive side of life and follow and live the way of the sages. Hence everyday and every moment are meaningful and precious to you. Happiness will be like your own shadow following you all the time.

Tibetan medicine and Buddhism
For Buddhists, life is precious and faith is expressed in the alleviation of suffering. So it is no surprise that Buddhist practice goes hand in hand with a medical system that seeks to support and enhance life and well being.
The Buddha is the supreme doctor who discovered the root cause of all diease or belief in the self. He explained that suffering originates in the mind, as a ' fundamental ignorance' giving rise to 84,000 psycho-emotional ills. The cure is to understand that karma or causation, is the nature of all phenomena, and to discover the luminous nature of the mind, from which arises the supreme elixir, compassion. Meditation practice promoting compassion and consciousness of the illusion of the self is crucial for healing others and yourself.

~ Master Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche
The important of moving away from 'spiritual materialism'
" It is important to see that the main point of any spiritual practice is to step out of the bureaucracy of ego. This means stepping our of ego's constant desire for a higher, more spiritual, more transcendental version of knowledge, religion, virtue, judgement, comfort, or whatever it is that a particular ego is seeking. One must step of spiritual materialism."
The spiritual supermarket is now so large that the egoic intellect may binge on so much knowledge and philosophy. Instead of becoming more selfless through practice, there is a danger that we can evolve into heartless dharma intellectuals.
Those who believe that they are on a spiritual path, but are in fact practising spiritual materialism and hanging on to ego, are likely to suffer problems with their nervous syatem and mental illness.
