Whenever there is a challenge, there is also an opportunity to face it, to demonstrate and develop our will and determination.

Compassion is the wish to see others free from suffering.

Do not let the behavior of others destroy your inner peace.

There must be a way of promoting human values without involving religion, based on common sense, experience and recent scientific findings.

When you are discontent, you always want more, more, more. Your desire can never be satisfied. But when you practice contentment, you can say to yourself, 'Oh yes - I already have everything that I really need.'

Our purpose in life is to be happy. From the very core of our being, we simply desire contentment.

Basically, therefore, we should approach others openly, recognizing each person as another human being just like ourselves. There is not much difference between us all.
