Anger, hatred and jealousy never solve problems, only affection, concern and respect can do that.

Tolerance is an important virtue of bodhisattvas .

I am like a wounded animal in a remote isolated place - How wonderful! - How happy!

Anger and hatred cannot bring harmony. The noble task of arms control and disarmament cannot be accomplished by confrontation and condemnation. Hostile attitudes only serve to heat up the situation, whereas a true sense of respect gradually cools down what otherwise could become explosive.

Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend - or a meaningful day.
