All beings come from a mother's womb. We should have a clear realization of the oneness of all humanity.

The essence of Buddhism is if you can, help others. If not, then at least refrain from hurting others.

Everything you do has some effect, some impact.

Looking at the pattern of our existence from birth to death, we can see the way in which we are fundamentally nurtured by other's affection.

A mind committed to compassion is like an overflowing reservoir - a constant source of energy, determination, and kindness.

If you wish to heal your own sadness or anger, seek to heal the sadness or anger of another. Those others are waiting for you now. They are looking to you for guidance, for help, for courage, for strength, for understanding, and for assurance at this hour. Most of all, they are looking to you for love.

No matter what part of the world we come from, we are all basically the same human beings. We all seek happiness and try to avoid suffering. We have the same basic human needs and concerns. All of us human beings want freedom and the right to determine our own destiny as individuals and as peoples. That is human nature.
