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 .

When we want a cup of tea our main wish is to drink tea, but to fulfill this wish we naturally develop the secondary wish to find a cup. In a similar way, the main wish of those who have great compassion is to protect all living beings from their suffering, but to fulfill this wish they know they must first attain Buddhahood themselves and so they naturally develop the secondary wish to attain enlightenment.

Practicing Dharma is the supreme method for improving the quality of our human life.

Our mental attitude transforms a situation into either a problem or an opportunity.

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

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

Listening is a lamp that dispels the darkness of ignorance.
