When we are angry we are blind to reality. Anger may bring us a temporary burst of energy, but that energy is blind and it blocks the part of our brain that distinguishes right from wrong. To deal with our problems, we need to be practical and realistic. If we are to be realistic, we need to use our human intelligence properly, which means we need a calm mind.

In disagreements with loved ones, deal only with the current situation. Don't bring up the past.

Real love is not based on attachment, but on altruism. In this case, your compassion will remain as a humane response to suffering as long as beings continue to suffer.

Overcoming negative tendencies and enhancing positive potential are the very essence of the spiritual path.

As our own peace of mind grows, so the atmosphere around us becomes more peaceful.

What is my religion? Simple. Kindness.

If through practice of insight you develop a sense of ease, then time has no relevance. If you're miserable, time does matter. It's so unbearable, so enormous you want to get out of it as soon as possible.
