Synopsis

According to spiritual teacher, Ryuho Okawa, we can either be attached to acquiring possessions and material goods, or we can seek the true path of happiness - a path paved by a love that gives rather than receives, and which emulates the lives and qualities of great people who have lived with integrity, wisdom and courage. Okawa beautifully illustrates how we can attain happiness and live a purposeful life.
