We have to look deeply at things in order to see. When a swimmer enjoys the clear water of the river, he or she should also be able to be the river.

The first thing I learned was that even if you have a lot of money and power and fame, you can still suffer very deeply.

You can use your life in a very useful and intelligent way. You can very well transform that negative energy into a positive energy that empowers you and makes life meaningful.

The nectar of compassion is so wonderful. If you are committed to keeping it alive, then you are protected.

That is why the practice of compassion is a very wonderful practice.

As long as we think our lives are not good enough (materially), we will not have happiness. As soon as we realize our lives are good enough, happiness immediately appears. That is the practice of contentment.
