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

Today we can see many different forms of Buddhism, such as Zen and Theravada Buddhism. All these different aspects are practices of Buddha's teachings, and all are equally precious; they are just different presentations.

Without inner peace, outer peace is impossible.

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

Whenever we practise meditation, whether or not our meditation is clear, we are performing a virtuous mental action that is a cause of our future happiness and peace of mind.

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.

Patience is a mind that is able to accept fully and happily, whatever occurs. It is much more than just gritting our teeth and putting up with things. Being patient means to welcome wholeheartedly whatever arises, having given up the idea that things should be other than what they are.
