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.

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

Going for refuge to Buddha,Dharma, and Sangha means that we apply effort to receiving Buddha's blessings, to putting Dharma into practice, and to receiving help from Sangha.

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

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.

If everyone sincerely practices the path of compassion and wisdom, all their problems will be solved. I guarantee this.

We do not need to become unhappy just because things don't go our way.
