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

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.

Going for refuge to Buddha,Dharma, and Sangha means that we apply effort to receiving Buddha's blessings, to putting Dharma into practice, and to receiving help from Sangha.

Buddha's teachings are scientific methods to solve the problems of all living beings permanently.

Without improving our mind there is no way to solve our human problems.

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

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