We share the earth not only with our fellow human beings, but with all the other creatures.

Better grounded emotionally through patience, we become stronger mentally and spiritually, and tend to be healthier physically.

There is competition, but it is used in a good way. It is positive to want to go first, provided the intention is to pave the way for others, make their path more easy, help them, or show the way. Competition is negative when we wish to defeat others, to bring them down in order to lift ourselves up.

Anger and hatred are the real enemies that we must confront and defeat, not the 'enemies' who appear from time to time in our lives.

Reality is devoid of any intrinsic identity that can be captured by any one single proposition - that is what Buddha meant by "voidness."

Happiness mainly comes from our own attitude, rather than from external factors.

Through difficult experiences, life sometimes becomes more meaningful.
