Friends, genuine friends, have much more to do with whether we have a warm heart, not money or power.

For a practitioner of love and compassion, an enemy is one of the most important teachers. Without an enemy you cannot practice tolerance, and without tolerance you cannot build a sound basis of compassion.

Love and Compassion are the true religions to me. But to develop this, we do not need to believe in any religion.

The more you are motivated by Love, The more Fearless & Free your action will be.

People assume that happiness stems from collecting things outside of yourself, whereas true happiness stems from removing things from inside of yourself

I have observed that religious practice is not a precondition either of ethical conduct or of happiness itself. I have also suggested that, whether a person practices religion or not, the spiritual qualities of love and compassion, patience, tolerance, forgiveness, humility and so on are indispensable.
