Buhhdism is wisdom. As long as we have wisdom, we can put all things to the best use, we can turn everything in the direction of happiness.

The reactions of the human heart are not mechanical and predictable but infinitely subtle and delicate.

The determination to win is the better part of winning.

When human beings live together, conflict is inevitable. War is not.

What matters is the value we’ve created in our lives, the people we’ve made happy and how much we’ve grown as people.

Hopes, dreams, faith and a sense of mission enable us to open up our lives.

Life is the blossoming of flowers in the spring, the ripening of fruit in the fall, the rhythm of the earth and of nature. Life is the cry of cicadas signalling the end of summer, migratory birds winging south in a transparent autumn sky, fish frolicking in a stream. Life is the joy beautiful music installs in us, the thrilling sight of a mountain peak reddened by the rising sun, the myriad combinations and permutations of visible and invisible phenomena. Life is all things.
