Sleep is the best meditation.

Someone else's action should not determine your response.

All beings want to live in peace and happiness, undisturbed. Therefore the concept of human rights is universal.

If a person's basic state of mind is serene and calm, then it is possible for this inner peace to overwhelm a painful physical experience.

We have a largely materialistic lifestyle characterized by a materialistic culture. However, this only provides us with temporary, sensory satisfaction, whereas long-term satisfaction is based not on the senses but on the mind. That’s where real tranquility is to be found. And peace of mind turns out to be a significant factor in our physical health too.

It is our enemies who provide us with the challenge we need to develop the qualities of tolerance, patience and compassion.

The ultimate source of my mental happiness is my peace of mind. Nothing can destroy this except my own anger.
