Practicing Dharma is the supreme method for improving the quality of our human life.

The more we control our mind, the more our inner peace increases and the happier we become

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

Happiness and suffering are states of mind, and so their main causes cannot be found outside the mind.

Love is the great protector, protecting us from anger and jealousy.

Pride is a mental factor causing us to feel higher or superior to others. Even our study of dharma can be the occasion for the delusion of pride to arise if we think our understanding is superior to that of everyone else. Pride is harmful because it prevents us from accepting fresh knowledge from a qualified teacher. Just as a pool of water cannot collect on the tip of a mountain, so too a reservoir of understanding cannot be established in a mind falsely elevated by pride.

Everything we now enjoy has been provided through the kindness of other beings, past or present.
