Without inner peace it is impossible to have world peace.

It is a question of our own peace and mental stability.

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

When we encounter suffering, it is important to respond w/ compassion rather than to question the politics of those we help.

Everybody wants a happy life and a peaceful mind, but we have to produce peace of mind through our own practice.

This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.

The mind must be developed by you alone. There is no way for others to do the work and for you to reap the results. Reading someone else's blueprint of mental progress will not transfer its realizations to you. You have to develop them yourself.
