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.

Go slowly, breathe and smile.

Looking deeply into the wrong perceptions, ideas, and notions that are at the base of our suffering is the most important practice in Buddhist meditation.

Each moment is a chance for us to make peace with the world, to make peace possible for the world, to make happiness possible for the world.

When we change our daily lives - the way we think, speak and act - we change the world.

Go back to the breathing and try to be in that moment deeply. Because there is a possibility to handle every kind of event and the essential is to keep the peace in yourself.

To think in terms of either pessimism or optimism oversimplifies the truth. The problem is to see reality as it is.
