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

An eye for an eye....we are all blind

Where there is a mind, there are feelings such as pain, pleasure, and joy. No sentient being wants pain: all wants happiness instead.

If you concern yourself mainly with others, the broader your thinking becomes, and life’s inevitable difficulties disturb you less.

The cultivation of compassion is no longer a luxury, but a necessity, if our species is to survive.

Happiness can be achieved through training the mind.

A sense of contentment is crucial to being happy. Physical health, material wealth and friends contribute to this, but contentment governs our relations with them all.
