Tolerance and tranquility are two characteristics of true love.

In the moment when we are able to smile, to look at ourselves with compassion, our world begins to change.

It's like growing lotus flowers. You cannot grow lotus flowers on marble. You have to grow them on the mud. Without mud you cannot have lotus flowers. Without suffering, you have no way to learn how to be understanding and compassionate.

Maybe we have enough technology to save the planet but it is not enough because the people are not ready.

When we live in the spirit of gratitude, there will be much happiness in our life. The one who is grateful is the one who has much happiness while the one who is ungrateful will not be able to have happiness.

Compassionate listening is to help the other side suffer less. If we realize that other people are the same people as we are, we are no longer angry at them.

True love always brings joy to ourself and the one we love. If our love does not bring joy to both of us, it is not true love.
