It's not enough to be compassionate. You must act.

Inner values like friendship, trust, honesty and compassion are much more reliable than money - they always bring happiness and strength.

Reality is devoid of any intrinsic identity that can be captured by any one single proposition - that is what Buddha meant by "voidness."

When you are warm-hearted, there is no room for anger, jealousy or insecurity.

To seek solitude like a wild animal. That is my only ambition.

If we can manage to refrain from harming others in our everyday actions and words, we can start to give more serious attention to actively doing good, and this can be a source of great joy and inner confidence. We can benefit others through our actions by being warm and generous toward them, by being charitable, and by helping those in need.

The purpose of our life needs to be positive. We weren't born with the purpose of causing trouble, harming others. For our life to be of value, I think we must develop basic good human qualities - warmth, kindness, compassion. Then our life becomes meaningful and more peaceful - happier.
