Don't compare me with Jesus. He is a great master, a great master.

Fear, hatred, and suspicion narrow your mind - compassion opens it.

It is not enough to be compassionate, we must act.

The colors of light are infinite through refraction, yet they all come from the same source. Thus I cannot detach myself from the wickedest soul, nor fail to identify with the most virtuous.

One scientist had discussions about love and compassion. Usually, he felt irritation. After our meeting, for some months, anger never come.

Giving up attachment to the world does not mean that you set yourself apart from it. Generating a desire for others to be happy increases your humanity. As you become less attached to the world, you become more humane. As the very purpose of spiritual practice is to help others, you must remain in society.

I believe that the destructive nature of society that now threatens the existence of the entire human world has much to do with human intelligence. The way to overcome all human suffering-that also is through human intelligence.
