Whatever you train, you change your brain.

Just be free, and at least you will go through adversity with a stronger mind, and therefore, you'll be less affected, and pain will affect you less.

I don't often get into a bad mood, since it does not help anything and clouds my judgment, but I can certainly see that sometimes things go terribly wrong. We need to understand the reasons for this and work towards building new conditions that will bring about better circumstances.

There is definitely openness to others' suffering that is dealt not with distress but with compassion.

We deal with our mind from morning till evening, and it can be our best friend or our worst enemy.

We cannot study everything at the same time.

It's not the magnitude of the task that matters, it's the magnitude of our courage.
