There is nothing in the cosmos, either in the material plane or the spiritual plane which cannot be directly cognized.

What we have done, the result of that comes to us whenever it comes, either today, tomorrow, hundred years later, hundred lives later, whatever, whatever. And so, it's our own karma. That is why that philosophy in every religion: Killing is sin. Killing is sin in every religion.

Meditation is the direct means of enjoying the greatest happiness and is the only means to quench the thirst for happiness on earth.

If you are open with someone, he will be open with you. If you want love from someone, give your love to him. If you want kind and sympathetic behavior from someone, be kind and sympathetic to him.

Monks are not expected to speak about themselves; the message is important, not the person.

Love knows that nothing is ever needed but more love. It is what we all do with our hearts that affects others most deeply. It is not the movements of our body or the words within our minds that transmit love. We love from heart to heart.

Life finds its purpose and fulfillment in the expansion of happiness.
