Happiness doesn't always come from a pursuit. Sometimes it comes when we least expect it.

Most of our troubles are due to our passionate desire for and attachment to things that we misapprehend as enduring entities.

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

We need to take action to develop compassion, to create inner peace within ourselves and to share that inner peace with our family and friends. Peace and warm-heartednes s can then spread through the community just as ripples radiate out across the water when you drop a pebble into a pond

Even within one person, yesterday and today, there are differences. We must look at a deeper level.

Love is a simple practice yet it is very beneficial for the individual who practices it as well as for the community in which he lives, for the nation, and for the whole world

It is crucial that we realize the great value of human existence, the opportunity and the potential that our brief lives afford us. It is only as humans that we have the possibility of implementing changes in our lives.
