To develop patience, you need someone who willfully hurts you. Such people give us real opportunities to practice tolerance. They test our inner strength in a way that even our guru cannot. Basically, patience protects us from being discouraged.

Unlike physical progress, which is subject to natural restrictions, the qualities of the mind can be developed limitlessly.

We consider that the lives of all beings are just as precious as our own, and through this we develop a sense of concern for others.

The ultimate way to solve human problems is with nonviolence.

Sleep is the best meditation.

The foundation of the Buddha's teachings lies in compassion, and the reason for practicing the teachings is to wipe out the persistence of ego, the number-one enemy of compassion.

Love and compassion are the pillars of world peace.
