    I think the promise here is the idea it will bring happiness. As any good buddhist will tell you it will just avoid suffering.

      Not sure what you mean, Buddhists are some of the best activists out there. Buddhism believes in the Middle Way. By avoiding suffering, you are denying yourself enlightenment. However seeking/creating unnecessary suffering is also bad.

        I mean it will not bring happiness but it will avoid suffering. I get that is not what is meant I was just being cute about the comic and the general interpretation of the four truths.
