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

Buddha's teachings are scientific methods to solve the problems of all living beings permanently.

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.

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

We should understand that our problems do not exist outside of ourself, but are part of our mind that experiences unpleasant feelings.

Everything we have and everything we enjoy, including our very life, is due to the kindness of others. In fact, every happiness there is in the world arises as a result of others' kindness.

If everyone practiced cherishing others, many of the major problems of the world would be solved in a few years.
