Anger or hatred is like a fisherman's hook. It is very important for us to ensure that we are not caught by it.

According to Buddhist psychology most of our troubles stem from attachment to things that we mistakenly see as permanent.

A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life.

Just give food without showing affection, [animals] might not get sort of 100% satisfaction. So they also, you see, when we human beings, we show affection, the poor animal also respond to us.

You must not hate those who do wrong or harmful things; but with compassion, you must do what you can to stop them — for they are harming themselves, as well as those who suffer from their actions.

Once you encourage the thought of compassion in your mind, once it becomes active, then your attitude towards others changes automatically.

Peace is not just the mere absence of violence or disturbance. It's when there is a possibility of conflict, but you deliberately avoid violence and adopt methods to solve the problem through peaceful means. That is real peace.
