Continue this practice no matter what happens or what anyone does to you.

Happiness does not come about only due to external circumstances; it mainly derives from inner attitudes.

For material progress and physical well being, peace of mind is of utmost importance.

Most of our problems are related to the mind, so we have to work to reduce our destructive emotions.

Those who have little interest in spirituality shouldn’t think that human inner values don’t apply to you. The inner peace of an alert and calm mind are the source of real happiness and good health. Our human intelligence tells us which of our emotions are positive and helpful and which are damaging and to be restrained or avoided.

The antidote to hatred in the heart, the source of violence, is tolerance.

Peace in the world depends on peace in the hearts of individuals; this depends on each of us practising ethics by disciplining our negative thoughts and emotions, and developing basic spiritual qualities.
