Buddhist Monk in Letter Form Paper 1 philosophy 6-18-01 Dear whomever it may concern, Growing up I was very poor and unhappy. I decided very young that the only way to truly understand happiness was to become wealthy. At the age of 12, I went out and got a job as an assistant for a scientist. However, I wanted to make a lot of money. Therefore I chose to work for an evil, rich man. His unethical line of work consisted of terrible studies done on people with physical and mental handicaps. Whenever I would help him with the unethical part of his studies, something bad always happened to my family or me. After multiple mysterious accidents causing death to my family and plenty of injuries to me, I realized money didn’t make me happy. I wanted out of the business once I made a connection between my work and my bad luck. I realized I needed change in my life. So I went out and sought knowledge, as you are now. I discovered Buddhism. This is what I found and I hope it will help you.
