The ultimate source of my mental happiness is my peace of mind. Nothing can destroy this except my own anger.

A mind wishing to benefit other people and other sentient beings is the very basis of peace and happiness.

The source of peace is within us; so also the source of war. And the real enemy is within us, and not outside. The source of war is not the existence of nuclear weapons or other arms. It is the minds of human beings who decide to push the button and to use those arms out of hatred, anger or greed.

More compassionate mind, more sense of concern for other's well-being, is source of happiness.

Even within one person, yesterday and today, there are differences. We must look at a deeper level.

If you are honest, truthful, and transparent, people trust you. If people trust you, you have no grounds for fear, suspicion or jealousy.

If you don't love yourself, you cannot love others. You will not be able to love others. If you have no compassion for yourself then you are not able of developing compassion for others.
