Wilkinson, a millionaire by then, has revealed that he has found inner peace through Buddhism.

TIP - If some aspects of Buddhist beliefs seem unfamiliar, obscure, or confusing, then bear in mind that Buddhism is a process philosophy. Difficult aspects of Buddhism (and quantum physics) often become much clearer when viewed from a process perspective.
