I believe compassion to be one of the few things we can practice that will bring immediate and long-term happiness to our lives.

The more we think of others, the happier we are. The more we think of ourselves, the more suffering we feel.

Even without a religion, we can become a good human being.

A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life.

Afflictive emotions - our jealousy, anger, hatred, fear - can be put to an end. When you realize that these emotions are only temporary, that they always pass on like clouds in the sky, you also realize they can ultimately be abandoned.

The two most important things to remember in business are: to be aware of the consequential impact on ecology, and a caring relationship between employer and employee.

The real troublemakers are anger, jealousy, impatience, and hatred. With them, problems cannot be solved. Though we may have temporary success, ultimately our hatred or anger will create futher difficulties. Anger makes for swift solutions. Yet, when we face problems with compassion, sincerity, and good motivation, our solutions may take longer, but ultimately they are better.
