We should realize that our deadliest enemies are anger and other delusions. Since these delusions are deeply ingrained mental habits, working to overcome them is not always easy.

Without improving our mind there is no way to solve our human problems.

A practice that is suitable for one person is not necessarily suitable for someone else, and a practice that is appropriate for one person at one time is not necessarily appropriate for that same person at another time. Buddha did not expect us to put all his teachings into practice right away--they are intended for a great variety of practitioners of different levels and dispositions.

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

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

When the turbulence of distracting thoughts subside and our mind becomes still, a deep happiness and contentment naturally arises from within.

Everything we now enjoy has been provided through the kindness of other beings, past or present.
