I'd rather be kind than right. You can always be kind.

This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.

We need to strengthen such inner values as contentment, patience and tolerance, as well as compassion for others. Keeping in mind that it is expressions of affection rather than money and power that attract real friends, compassion is the key to ensuring our own well-being.

Nothing comes into being without a cause and when all the conditions are created, there is nothing that can prevent the consequence.

I request you to try to be warm-hearted. I ask this of you because these mental attitudes actually bring us happiness.

The root of happiness is altruism - the wish to be of service to others.

More often than not, anger is actually an indication of weakness rather than of strength.
