True love always brings joy to ourself and the one we love. If our love does not bring joy to both of us, it is not true love.

In the moment when we are able to smile, to look at ourselves with compassion, our world begins to change.

As a human being, you have the right to get angry; but as a practitioner, you do not have the right to stop practicing.

We should be able to bring the practice of meditation hall into our daily lives. We need to discuss among ourselves how to do it. Do you practice breathing between phone calls? Do you practice smiling while cutting carrots? Do you practice relaxation after hard hours of work? These are practical questions. If you know how to apply meditation to dinner time, leisure time, sleeping time, it will penetrate your daily life, and it will also have a tremendous effect on social concerns.

A smile can change the situation of the world.

Deep listening is the kind of listening that can help relieve the suffering of another person. You can call it compassionate listening. You listen with only one purpose: to help him or her to empty his heart. Even if he says things that are full of wrong perceptions, full of bitterness, you are still capable of continuing to listen with compassion. Because you know that listening like that, you give that person a chance to suffer less.

We try to live every moment like that, dwelling peacefully in the present moment, and respond to events with compassion.
