Compassion is the wish to see others free from suffering.

If we make consistent effort, based on proper education, we can change the world.

There is...a tendency to think of the spiritual life as primarily introspective, divorced from the concerns of everyday life....Faith that does not translate into actions is no faith at all.

Even when a person has all of life's comforts - good food, good shelter, a companion - he or she can still become unhappy when encountering a tragic situation.

If you can do something about a situation, why worry? And if you can't do something about a situation, why worry?

The essence of Buddhism is if you can, help others. If not, then at least refrain from hurting others.

If you wish to experience peace, provide peace for another.
