If you can, help others; if you cannot do that, at least do not harm them.

Continue this practice no matter what happens or what anyone does to you.

Where there is a mind, there are feelings such as pain, pleasure, and joy. No sentient being wants pain: all wants happiness instead.

On a daily basis, you must take more care of your mind than just money, money, money!

Hard times build determination and inner strength. Through them we can also come to appreciate the uselessness of anger. Instead of getting angry nurture a deep caring and respect for troublemakers because by creating such trying circumstances they provide us with invaluable opportunities to practice tolerance and patience.

In order to be happy we must first possess inner contentment; and inner contentment doesn't come from having all we want; but rather from wanting and appreciating being grateful for all we have.

Genuine happiness and compassion go hand in hand.
