When we raise one hand to say "bye-bye" we are gesturing that we are going apart from each other, whereas when we join our palms and bow our head, our hearts become closer.

We should try our best to relieve the suffering of others in whatever way we can.

Go out and serve the suffering. Learn to place others in front of yourself.

Group chanting and prayer is very powerful. It can bring important changes.

Children, even if we lose a million dollars, we can recover it. If we lose one second, we cannot get it back. Every moment that we are not remembering God is lost to us.
