I have found a much greater appreciation of Buddhism because I couldn't take it for granted here in exile.
The basic condition of human life is happiness.
Without the human community one single human being cannot survive.
The training of the mind is an art. If this can be considered art, one's life is art.
A sense of concern for others gives our lives meaning; it is the root of all human happiness
Love and kindness are the very basis of society. If we lose these feelings, society will face tremendous difficulties; the survival of humanity will be endangered.
