Our most valuable teachers are our enemies.While our friends can help us in many ways, only our enemies can provide us with the challenge we need to develop tolerance, patience, and compassionthree virtues essential for building character, developing peace of mind, and bringing us true happiness.

As our own peace of mind grows, so the atmosphere around us becomes more peaceful.

The nature of our motivation determines the character of our work.

If there is love, there is hope that one may have real families, real brotherhood, real equanimity, real peace. If the love within your mind is lost and you see other beings as enemies, then no matter how much knowledge or education or material comfort you have, only suffering and confusion will ensue.

The practicing of loving kindness toward one's enemy is the ultimate test of one's own spiritual attainment.

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

Conversion is not my intention. Changing religion is not easy. You may develop some kind of confusion or difficulties.
