Harmony can not thrive in a climate of mistrust, cheating, bullying; mean-spirited competition.

My desire to devolve authority has nothing to do with a wish to shirk responsibility.

Even when a person has all of life's comforts - good food, good shelter, a companion - he or she can still become unhappy when encountering a tragic situation.

In order to be happy we must first possess inner contentment; and inner contentment doesn't come from having all we want; but rather from wanting and appreciating being grateful for all we have.

The essence of all religions is love, compassion, and tolerance. Kindness is my true religion. The clear proof of a person's love of God is if that person genuinely shows love to fellow human beings.

Reality is devoid of any intrinsic identity that can be captured by any one single proposition - that is what Buddha meant by "voidness."

I try to treat whoever I meet as an old friend. This gives me a genuine feeling of happiness. It is the practice of compassion.
