Since inner peace is the source of all happiness, we can see how important meditation is.

This impure world that we presently experience exists only in relation to our impure mind.

Developing compassion and wisdom and helping those in need is the true meaning of life.

Only by creating peace within our own mind and helping others to do the same can we hope to achieve peace in this world.

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

Whenever we see anyone in a high or low position, male or female, they differ only in appearance, dress, behavior, and status. In essence they are all equal--they all experience problems in their lives.

We need to keep a constant watch over our mind and learn to distinguish between the beneficial and harmful thoughts that are arising moment by moment. Those who are able to do this are truly wise.
