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

We all wish for world peace, but world peace will never be achieved unless we first establish peace within our own minds.

There is no greater method for experiencing peace of mind and happiness than to understand and meditate on Emptiness.

Happiness and suffering are states of mind, and so their main causes cannot be found outside the mind.

By meditating on affectionate love and wishing love for just one moment we accumulate greater merit than we would by giving food three times every day to all those who are hungry in the world.

The moment we let go of our obsessive concern for our own welfare, our mind naturally relaxes and becomes lighter.

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.
