It is through our anger and hatred that we transform people into enemies.

A practice that is suitable for one person is not necessarily suitable for someone else, and a practice that is appropriate for one person at one time is not necessarily appropriate for that same person at another time. Buddha did not expect us to put all his teachings into practice right away--they are intended for a great variety of practitioners of different levels and dispositions.

When we learn to accept difficult circumstances patiently, the real problem disappears.

Enlightenment is the inner light of wisdom that is permanently free from all mistaken appearance, and whose function is to bestow mental peace upon each and every living being every day.

If we transform our ordinary mind into love and compassion we will naturally act in a positive way.

If everyone practiced cherishing others, many of the major problems of the world would be solved in a few years.

Listening is a lamp that dispels the darkness of ignorance.
