Because we all share this planet earth, we have to learn to live in harmony and peace with each other and with nature. This is not just a dream, but a necessity.

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

I believe compassion to be one of the few things we can practice that will bring immediate and long-term happiness to our lives.

The universe is a single atom: the convergence of science and spirituality.

To reduce destructive emotions we need to strengthen constructive emotions. For example, to counter anger we cultivate love and compassion.

I believe all suffering is caused by ignorance.

True change is within; leave the outside as it is.
