Understanding and Love are not two separate things, but just one. To develop understanding, you have to practice looking at all living beings with the eyes of compassion. When you understand, you cannot help but love. And when you love, you naturally act in a way that can relieve the suffering of people.

The teachings on love given by the Buddha are clear, scientific, and applicable... Love, compassion, joy, and equanimity are the very nature of an enlightened person. They are the four aspects of true love within ourselves and within everyone and everything.

You are like a candle. Imagine you are sending light out all around you. All your words, thoughts and actions are going in many directions. If you say something kind, your kind words go in many directions, and you yourself go with them. We are ...transforming and continuing in a different form at every moment.

Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.

If we know how to create the energy of love, understanding, compassion, and beauty, then we can contribute a lot to the world.

Wherever we are we have the capacity to enjoy the sunshine, the presence of each other and the wonder of our breathing.
