On those days when I can spend a few hours getting some understanding, I feel fulfilled. I feel as if I have made good use of my time.

Try to improve. Don't expect too much, but don't feel discouraged either; keep up your enthusiasm; you will make progress.

I believe compassion to be one of the few things we can practice that will bring immediate and long-term happiness to our lives.

I am a steadfast follower of the doctrine of non-violence which was first preached by Lord Buddha, whose divine wisdom is absolute.

Since at the beginning and end of our lives we are so dependent on other's kindness, how can it be in ......the middle that we would neglect kindness towards others?

If the mind is dominated by hatred, the best part of the brain, which is used to judge right and wrong, does not function properly.

Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.
