Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them.

Every human action, whether it has become positive or negative, must depend on motivation.

In my childhood, I had a religious assistant who always told me, if you can really laugh with full abandonment, it's very good for your health.

All good qualities must be sown and cultivated. We can’t expect to change overnight from an ordinary person into one with high realizations.

Unfortunate events though potentially a source of anger and despair have equal potential to be a source of spiritual growth. Whether or not this is the outcome depends on your response.

In daily practice, reflect on the benefits of love, compassion and kindness, then reflect on the disadvantages of anger. Such continuous contemplation, the growing appreciation of love, has the effect of reducing our inclination towards hatred and increasing our respect for love. By this means even anger can be diminished.

We can solve many problems in an appropriate way, without any difficulty, if we cultivate harmony, friendship and respect for one another.
