Look into a flower and you see the whole cosmos.

Our own lives are the instruments with which we experiment with truth.

But if we have the energy of compassion and loving kindness in us, the people around us will be influenced by our way of being and living.

If you have the chance to be exposed to a loving, understanding environment where the seed of compassion, loving kindness, can be watered every day, then you become a more loving person.

Aware of the suffering caused by the destruction of life, I am committed to cultivating compassion and learning ways to protect the lives of people, animals, plants, and minerals. I am determined not to kill, not to let others kill, and not to support any act of killing in the world, in my thinking, and in my way of life.

In the mountains of wisdom no climbing is in vain.

Meditation is to be aware of what is going on in your body, in your feelings, in your mind, and in the world.
