We know that we are happy when our mind is peaceful, and unhappy when it is not. It is therefore clear that our happiness depends upon our having a peaceful mind and not on good external conditions. Even if our external conditions are poor, if we maintain a peaceful mind all the time we shall always be happy.

Without inner peace, outer peace is impossible.

I have not met one living being that has not been the mother of all the rest.

Learning to cherish others is the best solution to our daily problems, and it is the source of all our future happiness and good fortune.

The more we want certain situations, the more we find ourself stuck in situations we do not want.

Our mind is like a field, and performing actions is like sowing seeds in that field.

We know that we are happy when our mind is peaceful, and unhappy when it is not. It is therefore clear that our happiness depends upon our having a peaceful mind and not on good external conditions. Even if our external conditions are poor, if we maintain a peaceful mind all the time we shall always be happy.
