You must not hate those who do wrong or harmful things; but with compassion, you must do what you can to stop them — for they are harming themselves, as well as those who suffer from their actions.

Love is wanting others to be happy.

No matter what part of the world we come from, we are all basically the same human beings. We all seek happiness and try to avoid suffering. We have the same basic human needs and concerns. All of us human beings want freedom and the right to determine our own destiny as individuals and as peoples. That is human nature.

We need to make material progress, but we need inner development too ... remember that the real development we seek is not in the buildings but in our hearts and minds.

Meet hostility and suspicion with kindness. Helping others out of love is always the best option.

According to Buddhist psychology most of our troubles stem from attachment to things that we mistakenly see as permanent.

I truly believe that compassion provides the basis of human survival.
