Don't become a Buddhist. The world doesn't need Buddhist. Do practice Compassion. The world needs more compassion.

My own view, which does not rely solely on religious faith or even on an original idea, but rather on ordinary common sense, is that establishing binding ethical principles is possible when we take as our starting point the observation that we all desire happiness and wish to avoid suffering.

Spirit is a land of high white peaks and glittering jewel-like lakes and flowers. Life is sparse and sounds travel great distances.

You have to start giving first and expect absolutely nothing.

Human use, population, and technology have reached that certain stage where mother Earth no longer accepts our presence with silence.

By developing a sense of concern for others' well-being, then no matter what others' attitudes are, you can keep inner peace.

If you don't love yourself, you cannot love others. You will not be able to love others. If you have no compassion for yourself then you are not able of developing compassion for others.
