When another person makes you suffer, it is because he suffers deeply within himself, and his suffering is spilling over. He does not need punishment; he needs help. That's the message he is sending.

If you have a friend who suffers, you have to help him.«My dear friend, you are on safe ground. Everything is okay now. Why do you continue to suffer? Don't go back to the past. It's only a ghost; it's unreal». And whenever we recognize that these are only movies and pictures, not reality, we are free. That is the practice of mindfulness.

The source of love is deep in us and we can help others realize a lot of happiness. One word, one action, one thought can reduce another person’s suffering and bring that person joy.

The war is in our souls.

Today is the most important day of our lives.

Birth is okay and death is okay, if we know that they are only concepts in our mind. Reality transcends both birth and death.

Our capacity to make peace with another person and with the world depends very much on our capacity to make peace with ourselves.
