Real peace is not in power, money, or weapons, but in deep inner peace.

You do not suffer because things are impermanent. You suffer because things are impermanent and you think they are permanent.

Compassion is a mind that removes the suffering that is present in the other.

When you are a young person, you are like a young creek, and you meet many rocks, many obstacles and difficulties on your way. You hurry to get past these obstacles and get to the ocean. But as the creek moves down through the fields, it becomes larges and calmer and it can enjoy the reflection of the sky. It's wonderful. You will arrive at the sea anyway so enjoy the journey. Enjoy the sunshine, the sunset, the moon, the birds, the trees, and the many beauties along the way. Taste every moment of your daily life.

Feelings come and go like clouds in a windy sky. Conscious breathing is my anchor.

The moment you understand the importance of loving yourself, you will stop hurting others.

The way we live our daily lives is what most effects the situation of the world. If we can change our daily lives, then we can change our governments and can change the world. Our president and governments are us. They reflect our lifestyle and our way of thinking. The way we hold a cup of tea, pick up the newspaper or even use toilet paper are directly related to peace.
