We discover that all human beings are just like us, so we are able to relate to them more easily. That generates a spirit of friendship in which there is less need to hide what we feel or what we are doing.

You're happy when you help others become happy.

Destructive thoughts and emotions undermine the very causes of peace and happiness. If you think clearly about it, it makes no sense to think you’re seeking happiness, if you do nothing to restrain angry, spiteful, and malicious thoughts and emotions.

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

I don't think human affection and compassion are just religious concerns; they're indispensable factors in our day-to-day lives.

If we can refrain from harming others in our actions & words, we can start to give serious attention to actively doing good.

Maybe, just maybe, I would like to become a real spiritual teacher, a working lama!
