Lack of understanding of the true nature of happiness, it seems to me, is the principal reason why people inflict sufferings on others. They think either that the other's pain may somehow be a cause of happiness for themselves or that their own happiness is more important, regardless of what pain it may cause. But this is shortsighted. No one truly benefits from causing harm to another sentient being. . . . . In the long run causing others misery and infringing their rights to peace and happiness result in anxiety, fear, and suspicion within oneself.

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

First one must change. I first watch myself, check myself, then expect changes from others.

When you hate someone intensely, 80% of what you think is delusion.

Happiness is the highest form of health.

Do something that scares you every day. You have nothing to lose but fear itself.

Calm mind brings inner strength and self-confidence, so that's very important for good health.
