When we learn to accept difficult circumstances patiently, the real problem disappears.

There is no situation so bad that it cannot be accepted patiently, with an open, accommodating, and peaceful heart.

Our mind is like a field, and performing actions is like sowing seeds in that field.

Today we can see many different forms of Buddhism, such as Zen and Theravada Buddhism. All these different aspects are practices of Buddha's teachings, and all are equally precious; they are just different presentations.

This impure world that we presently experience exists only in relation to our impure mind.

Without inner peace, outer peace is impossible.

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