Buddhism strongly discourages blind faith and fanaticism.

A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life.

When you are discontent, you always want more, more, more. Your desire can never be satisfied. But when you practice contentment, you can say to yourself, 'Oh yes - I already have everything that I really need.'

Conversion is not my intention. Changing religion is not easy. You may develop some kind of confusion or difficulties.

The most important benefit of patience consists in the way it acts as a powerful antidote to the affliction of anger - the greatest threat to our inner peace, and therefore our happiness. The mind, or spirit, is not physical, it cannot be touched or harmed directly. Only negative thoughts and emotions can harm it. Therefore, only the corresponding positive quality can protect it.

Anger, pride and competence are our real enemies.

Cultivating inner discipline is something that takes time; expecting rapid results is simply a sign of impatience.
