Ignorance is the source of hatred, and the way to get rid of ignorance is realization.

Consider that not only do negative thoughts and emotions destroy our experience of peace, they also undermine our health.

Values are related to our emotions, just as we practice physical hygiene to preserve our physical health, we need to observe emotional hygiene to preserve a healthy mind and attitudes.

Every morning when I wake up, I dedicate myself to helping others to find peace of mind. Then, when I meet people, I think of them as long term friends; I don't regard others as strangers.

A Compassionate state of mind brings inner peace, and therefore a healthier body.

In order to be happy we must first possess inner contentment; and inner contentment doesn't come from having all we want; but rather from wanting and appreciating being grateful for all we have.

The more you nurture a feeling of loving kindness, the happier and calmer you will be.
