Wisdom is a living stream, not an icon to be preserved in a museum. Only when a practitioner finds the spring of wisdom in his or her own life can it flow to a future generation

If we do not know how to take care of ourselves and to love ourselves, we cannot take care of the people we love. Loving oneself is the foundation for loving another person.

If I succeed in loving you, I will be able to love everyone and all species on Earth... This is the real message of love

We have the Statue of Liberty on the East Coast. But in the name of freedom, people have done a lot of damage. I think we have to build a Statue of Responsibility on the West Coast in order to counterbalance. Because liberty without responsibility is not true liberty. We are not free to destroy.

You must love in such a way that the person you love feels free.

There is the mud, and there is the lotus that grows out of the mud. We need the mud in order to make the lotus.

Know that life can only be found in the present moment.
