In the mountains of wisdom no climbing is in vain.

By living deeply in the present moment we can understand the past better & prepare for a better future.

It is not a matter of faith, it is a matter of practice

With understanding, those we love will certainly flower.

Though we all have the fear and the seeds of anger within us, we must learn not to water those seeds and instead nourish our positive qualities - those of compassion, understanding, and loving kindness.

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.

People suffer because they are caught in their views. As soon as we release those views, we are free and we don't suffer anymore.
