Love doesn't have any color. Other people may discriminate against us, but what is more important is whether we discriminate against them. If we don't do that, we are a happier person, and as a happier person, we are in a position to help. And anger, this is not a help.

As we cultivate peace and happiness in ourselves, we also nourish peace and happiness in those we love.

Around us, life bursts with miracles, a glass of water, a ray of sunshine, a leaf, a caterpillar, a flower, laughter, raindrops.

We all have the seeds of love in us.We can develop this wonderful source of energy, nurturing the unconditional love that does not expect anything in return.

A human being is like a television set with millions of channels.... We cannot let just one channel dominate us. We have the seed of everything in us, and we have to recover our own sovereignty.

I clean this teapot with the kind of attention I would have were I giving the baby Buddha or Jesus a bath.

I am committed to cultivating loving speech and deep listening in order to bring joy and happiness to others and relieve others of their suffering.
