True compassion is not just an emotional response, but a firm commitment founded on reason. Therefore, a truly compassionate attitude toward others does not change, even if they behave negatively. Through universal altruism, you develop a feeling of responsibility for others: the wish to help them actively overcome their problems.

Anger, jealousy, impatience, and hatred are the real troublemakers, with them problems cannot be solved.

Cultivating a close, warmhearted feeling for others automatically puts the mind at ease.

Neither a space station nor an enlightened mind can be realized in a day.

It's not enough to be compassionate. You must act.

Happiness is a state of mind. With physical comforts if your mind is still in a state of confusion and agitation, it is not happiness. Happiness means calmness of mind.

I don't want to convert people to Buddhism - all major religions, when understood properly, have the same potential for good.
