It is our enemies who provide us with the challenge we need to develop the qualities of tolerance, patience and compassion.

Cultivating care and concern for others gives rise to a kind of inner strength. No matter what difficulties or problems you face, in this wider context they’ll seem less significant and troubling to you. The inner strength, self-confidence and courage you gain by focussing on others’ needs instead of your own, brings with it a deep, calm sense of satisfaction.

We need to learn how to want what we have NOT to have what we want in order to get steady and stable Happiness

Logically, harmony must come from the heart... Harmony very much based on trust. As soon as use force, creates fear. Fear and trust cannot go together.

If through practice of insight you develop a sense of ease, then time has no relevance. If you're miserable, time does matter. It's so unbearable, so enormous you want to get out of it as soon as possible.

A mind wishing to benefit other people and other sentient beings is the very basis of peace and happiness.

We can hardly call a beggar an obstacle to generosity.
