Most of our troubles are due to our passionate desire for and attachment to things that we misapprehend as enduring entities.

Many people and companies only have one goal: money, money, and more money. Greed is ok when you let others profit from it, but greed for oneself is bad, it makes you ill.

Our planet is blessed with vast natural treasures. If we use them wisely, beginning with the elimination of militarism and war, every human being will be able to live a healthy, prosperous existence.

The enemy is a very good teacher.

The highest happiness is when one reaches the stage of liberation, at which there is no more suffering.

It is a wonderful thing if one can use one's place of work as a place of spiritual practice as well.

One problem with our current society is that we have an attitude towards education as if it is there to simply make you more clever, make you more ingenious... Even though our society does not emphasize this, the most important use of knowledge and education is to help us understand the importance of engaging in more wholesome actions and bringing about discipline within our minds. The proper utilization of our intelligence and knowledge is to effect changes from within to develop a good heart.
