Whether or not we follow any particular spiritual tradition, the benefits of love and kindness are obvious to anyone.

Friends, genuine friends, have much more to do with whether we have a warm heart, not money or power.

We have a natural creative ability and it is very important to realize this.

Many Tibetans sacrifice their lives.

If our tears do not lead us to act then we have lost the reason of our humanity, which is compassion.

The fact that there is always a positive side to life is the one thing that gives me a lot of happiness.

Basically we are all the same human beings with the same potential to be a good human being or a bad human being. The important thing is to realize the positive side and try to increase that; realize the negative side and try to reduce. That's the way.
