Only the development of compassion and understanding for others can bring us the tranquility and happiness we all seek.

It is our basic right to be a happy person, happy family, and eventually a happy world. That should be our goal.

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

The Dalai Lama should not be partisan either, should remain above.

Good human qualities-honesty, sincerity, a good heart-cannot be bought with money, nor can they be produced my machines, but only by the mind itself. We can call this the inner light, or God's blessing, or human qualitity. This is the essence of mankind.

Afflictive emotions - our jealousy, anger, hatred, fear - can be put to an end. When you realize that these emotions are only temporary, that they always pass on like clouds in the sky, you also realize they can ultimately be abandoned.

True change is within; leave the outside as it is.
