With genuine love and compassion, another person's appearance or behavior has no affect on your attitude.

The only "definitive truth" for Buddhism is the absolute negation of any one truth as the Definitive Truth.

Love is the absence of judgment.

The ultimate source of happiness is not money and power, but warm-heartedness

In spiritual growth, it is important to avoid imbalances between academic or intellectual learning and practical implementation. Otherwise there is a danger that too much intellectualiza tion will kill the more contemplative practices and too much emphasis on practical implementation without study will kill the understanding. There has got to be a balance.

Gratitude is something you show in relation to others.

Your motivation should be sincere and your life should be of benefit to some people. That is the main thing. Don't care after my death.
