Every moment is a moment of happiness.

Anyone who is practicing understanding and compassion can exemplify true power. Anyone can be a Buddha.

Just breathing and smiling can make us very happy, because when we breathe consciously we recover ourselves completely and encounter life in the present moment.

Real peace is not in power, money, or weapons, but in deep inner peace.

Mother Earth is very talented. She has produced Buddhas, bodhisattvas, great beings.

The problem is whether we are determined to go in the direction of compassion or not. If we are, then can we reduce the suffering to a minimum? If I lose my direction, I have to look for the North Star, and I go to the north. That does not mean I expect to arrive at the North Star. I just want to go in that direction.

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