I request you to try to be warm-hearted. I ask this of you because these mental attitudes actually bring us happiness.

Some people consider the practice of love and compassion is only related to religious practice and if they are not interested in religion they neglect these inner values. But love and compassion are qualities that human beings require just to live together.

If you focus only on yourself and neglect others, you will lose; but you will gain if you value others as much as you cherish yourself.

I call myself a feminist. Isn't that what you call someone who fights for women's rights?

(Because) the notion of absolute truth is difficult to sustain outside the context of religion, ethical conduct is not something we engage in because it is somehow right in itself but because, like ourselves, all others desire to be happy and to avoid suffering. Given that this is a natural disposition, shared by all, it follows that each individual has a right to pursue this goal. Accordingly, I suggest that one of the things which determines whether an act is ethical or not is its effect on others' experience or expectation of happiness.

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.

Spend some time alone every day.
