Buddha was speaking about reality. Reality may be one, in its deepest essence, but Buddha also stated that all propositions about reality are only contingent.

I have come to the conclusion that whether or not a person is a religious believer does not matter. Far more important is that they be a good human being.

Today is the right day to love, believe, do, and mostly, live.

The rationale for loving others is the recognition of the simple fact that every living being has the same right to and the same desire for happiness, and not suffering, and the consideration that you as one individual are one life unit as compared with the mulititude of others in their ceaseless quest for happiness.

If you have fear of some pain or suffering, you should examine whether there is anything you can do about it. If you can, there is no need to worry about it; if you cannot do anything, then there is also no need to worry.

As far as mental development is concerned, we should never be complacent. We can develop our minds infinitely - there is no limitation.

If a person's basic state of mind is serene and calm, then it is possible for this inner peace to overwhelm a painful physical experience.
