If science proves some belief of Buddhism wrong, then Buddhism will have to change. In my view, science and Buddhism share a search for the truth and for understanding reality. By learning from science about aspects of reality where its understanding may be more advanced, I believe that Buddhism enriches its own worldview.

Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.

The various features and aspects of human life, such as longevity, good health, success, happiness, and so forth, which we consider desirable, are all dependent on kindness and a good heart.

Inner peace is the key: if you have inner peace, the external problems do not affect your deep sense of peace and tranquility... Without this inner peace, no matter how comfortable your life is materially, you may still be worried, disturbed or unhappy because of circumstances.

Happiness doesn't always come from a pursuit. Sometimes it comes when we least expect it.

It's best not to get too excited or too depressed by the ups and downs of life.

...there is an intense delight in abandoning faulty states of mind and in cultivating helpful ones in meditation.
