Compassion is a Shepherd, Always tending his herd.

Everything we have and everything we enjoy, including our very life, is due to the kindness of others. In fact, every happiness there is in the world arises as a result of others' kindness.

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

One of the most common ways of not acknowledging our faults is to blame others.

Since the real purpose of meditation is to increase our capacity to help others, taking time each day to meditate is not selfish. We have to manage our time and energy in such a way that we can be of maximum benefit to others, and to do this we need time alone to recover our strength, collect our thoughts, and see things in perspective

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

We are all interconnected in a web of kindness from which it is impossible to separate ourself.
