Enlightenment is the inner light of wisdom that is permanently free from all mistaken appearance, and whose function is to bestow mental peace upon each and every living being every day.

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.

We need modern ideas, but we also need ancient wisdom. If we deny ancient wisdom we are making a big mistake.

Love is the great protector, protecting us from anger and jealousy.

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

The cause of happiness and the solution to our problems do not lie in knowledge of material things. Happiness and suffering are states of mind, and so their main causes cannot be found outside the mind. If we want to be truly happy and free from suffering, we must learn how to control our mind.

Learning to cherish others is the best solution to our daily problems, and it is the source of all our future happiness and good fortune.
