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

Patience is a mind that is able to accept fully and happily, whatever occurs. It is much more than just gritting our teeth and putting up with things. Being patient means to welcome wholeheartedly whatever arises, having given up the idea that things should be other than what they are.

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

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.

Right now we have obtained a human rebirth and have the opportunity to attain enlightenment through Dharma practice, so if we waste this precious opportunity in meaningless activities there is no greater loss and no greater foolishness.

By meditating on affectionate love and wishing love for just one moment we accumulate greater merit than we would by giving food three times every day to all those who are hungry in the world.

The moment we let go of our obsessive concern for our own welfare, our mind naturally relaxes and becomes lighter.
