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.

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

Faith is like pure eyes that enable us to see a pure and perfect world beyond the suffering world of samsara.

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.

All the happiness there is in the world arises from wishing others to be happy.

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.

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