As long as we are human, we are destined to make mistakes. We all fall prey to flawed beliefs and views. What separates a forward-looking person from an intransigent one, a virtuous person from a malevolent one, however, is whether one can candidly admit to ones mistakes and take bold steps to redress them.

Within the heart of every person exists the flame of wisdom that transforms all suffering into kindling for the fire of creative energy.

No one can live entirely on their own, nor can any country or society exist in isolation.

If we look at the world with a love of life, the world will reveal its beauty to us.

Happiness does not exist as an isolated quality, nor does it conform to a single fixed pattern. Happiness is something that breathes and lives in the relationships between one person and another.

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.

No one should be left to suffer alone.
