Ultimately, the human being is in the mercy of nature.

A positive state of mind is not merely good for you, it benefits everyone with whom you come into contact, literally changing the world.

Have no discrepancy between what you say, what you are and what you do.

The key to genuine happiness is in our hands. To think this way is to discover the essential values of kindness, brotherly love and altruism. The more clearly we see the benefits of these values, the more we will seek to reject anything that opposes them; in this way we will be able to bring about inner transformation.

The real test of compassion is not what we say in abstract discussions but how we conduct ourselves in daily life.

It is not only our right as members of the global human family to protest when our brothers and sisters are being treated brutally, but it is also our duty to do whatever we can to hep them.

Most of our troubles are due to our passionate desire for and attachment to things that we misapprehend as enduring entities.
