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

Just as full sunlight completely dispels all darkness but even a few rays provide a measure of light, so, if we complete the practice of training the mind, we will totally dispel the darkness of our ignorance, but if we engage in only some parts of the practice, this will still help to reduce our ignorance and self-cherishing .

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

In reality, our mind is the creator of all the things we experience.

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

Love is the real nuclear bomb that destroys all our enemies, because when we love all living beings, we have no enemies.

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.
