Love and compassion ... are the ultimate source of human happiness, and the need for them lies at the very core of our being.

I will not propose to you that my way is best. The decision is up to you. If you find some point which may be suitable to you, then you can carry out experiments for yourself. If you find that it is of no use, then you can discard it.

The training of the mind is an art. If this can be considered art, one's life is art.

If we can refrain from harming others in our actions & words, we can start to give serious attention to actively doing good.

When we are motivated by compassion and wisdom, the results of our actions benefit everyone, not just our individual selves or some immediate convenience. When we are able to recognize and forgive ignorant actions of the past, we gain strength to constructively solve the problems of the present.

We can live without religion and meditation, but we cannot survive without human affection.

The need for love lies at the very foundation of human existence.
