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

Without being peace, we cannot do anything for peace. If we cannot smile, we cannot help other people to smile. If we are not peaceful, then we cannot contribute to the peace movement.

In order to be loved, we have to love, which means we have to understand.

Breathe in and take one step, and focus all your attention on the sole of your foot. If you have not arrived fully, one hundred percent in the here and the now, don't take the next step.

When your mind is liberated, your heart floods with compassion.
