When we develop a right attitude of compassion and gratitude, we take a giant step towards solving our personal and international problems

Love and compassion ... are the ultimate source of human happiness, and the need for them lies at the very core of our being.

Just as you have the instinctive natural desire to be happy and overcome suffering, so do all sentient beings; just as you have the right to fulfill this innate aspiration, so do all sentient beings. So on what exact grounds do you discriminate?

Just one small positive thought in the morning can change your whole day.

The time has come to educate people, to cease all quarrels in the name of religion, culture, countries, different political or economic systems. Fighting is useless. Suicide.

Human satisfaction must ultimately come from within oneself.

Just as compassion is the wish that all sentient beings be free of suffering, loving-kindness is the wish that all may enjoy happiness.
