The moment we let go of our obsessive concern for our own welfare, our mind naturally relaxes and becomes lighter.

We should understand that our problems do not exist outside of ourself, but are part of our mind that experiences unpleasant feelings.

Love is the real nuclear bomb that destroys all our enemies, because when we love all living beings, we have no enemies.

When we look at external things, we can usually distinguish those that are useful and valuable from those that are not. We must learn to look at our mind in the same way.

The cause of happiness and the solution to our problems do not lie in knowledge of material things. Happiness and suffering are states of mind, and so their main causes cannot be found outside the mind. If we want to be truly happy and free from suffering, we must learn how to control our mind.

We need modern ideas, but we also need ancient wisdom. If we deny ancient wisdom we are making a big mistake.

Happiness is a state of mind, so the real source of happiness must lie within the mind, not in external conditions.
