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

We are all interconnected in a web of kindness from which it is impossible to separate ourself.

Anger is one of the most common and destructive delusions, and it afflicts our mind almost every day. To solve the problem of anger, we first need to recognize the anger within our mind, acknowledge how it harms both ourself and others, and appreciate the benefits of being patient in the face of difficulties.

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

As Shantideva says, suffering has many good qualities because it purifies our negative karma, increases our renunciation and compassion, reduces our pride, and helps us to overcome our bad mental habits. If we think in this way we will feel that difficult circumstances are our best friends. When our mind is balanced in this way it becomes as stable as Mount Meru, and nothing can cause it to shake.

Happiness is a state of mind, so the real source of happiness must lie within the mind, not in external conditions.

Whenever anyone, Buddhist or not, sees a Temple or an image of Buddha they receive blessings.
