Perhaps our teachings seem less religious and more technical, like psychology, so they are easier for secular people to use.

Do not let the behavior of others destroy your inner peace.

Love and Compassion are the true religions to me. But to develop this, we do not need to believe in any religion.

The simple recognition that everyone else wants to be happy and not to suffer, just as I do, serves as a constant reminder against selfishness and partiality. It reminds us there is little to be gained from being kind and generous while hoping to win something in return. Actions motivated by a desire to earn a good name for ourselves are still selfish, even if they appear to be acts of kindness.

If it can be solved, there's no need to worry, and if it can't be solved, worry is of no use.

Foolish, selfish people are always thinking of themselves and the result is always negative. Wise persons think of others, helping them as much as they can, and the result is happiness. Love and compassion are beneficial both for you and others. Through your kindness to others, your mind and heart will open to peace.

If you shift your focus from oneself to others, and think more about others' well-being and welfare, it has an immediate liberating effect.
