If you can cultivate the right attitude, your enemies are your best spiritual teachers because their presence provides you with the opportunity to enhance and develop tolerance, patience and understanding.

As long as we observe love for others and respect for their rights and dignity in our daily lives, then whether we are learned or unlearned, whether we believe in the Buddha or God, follow some religion or none at all, as long as we have compassion for others and conduct ourselves with restraint out of a sense of responsibility, there is no doubt we will be happy.

World belongs to humanity, not this leader, that leader or that king or prince or religious leader. World belongs to humanity.

A positive state of mind is not merely good for you, it benefits everyone with whom you come into contact, literally changing the world.

When a person is in a miserable situation, then, yes, it is difficult to develop genuine compassion toward others. That's why I find it difficult to say to poor people, "Please have compassion toward millionaires." That's not easy.

Remember that sometimes not getting what you want is a wonderful stroke of luck.

Compassion is a mental quality that can bring us true lasting inner peace and inner strength.
