The future will be in the hands of those of you who belong to the 21st century. You have the opportunity and responsibility to build a better humanity. This means developing warm-heartednes s in this very life, here and now. So, do whatever work you do, but ask yourselves now and then, 'How can I contribute to human beings being happier and more peaceful?'

Giving up attachment to the world does not mean that you set yourself apart from it. Generating a desire for others to be happy increases your humanity. As you become less attached to the world, you become more humane. As the very purpose of spiritual practice is to help others, you must remain in society.

More compassionate mind, more sense of concern for other's well-being, is source of happiness.

Generosity is the most natural outward expression of an inner attitude of compassion and loving-kindness .

With genuine love and compassion, another person's appearance or behavior has no affect on your attitude.

Inner values like friendship, trust, honesty and compassion are much more reliable than money - they always bring happiness and strength.

Compassion, tolerance, forgiveness and a sense of self-discipline are qualities that help us lead our daily lives with a calm mind
