The roots of all goodness lie in the soil of appreciation for goodness.

If your heart has peace, nothing can disturb you.

Your own pain is involuntary; you feel overwhelmed and have no control. When feeling the pain of others, there is an element of discomfort, but there also is a level of stability because you are voluntarily accepting pain. It gives you a sense of confidence.

A mind that is characterized by unrest will not be tranquil even in the presence of great calm.

If I am only happy for myself, many fewer chances for happiness. If I am happy when good things happen to other people, billions more chances to be happy!

We had a rule in Tibet that anyone proposing a new invention had to guarentee that it was beneficial, or at least harmless, for seven generations of humans before it could be adopted.

A truly peaceful mind is very sensitive, very aware.
