There’s no need for us to be held back by the past or how things have been so far. The important thing is what seeds we are sowing now for the future.

No matter what our personal circumstances may be, if we ourselves become a source of light, then there will be no darkness in the world.

If you summon your courage to challenge something, you’ll never be left with regret. How sad it is to spend your life wishing, “If only I’d had a little more courage.” Whatever the outcome may be, the important thing is to step forward on the path that you believe is right.

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

Hope is the sun. It is light. It is passion. It is the fundamental force for life's blossoming.
