Each of us holds human destiny in our hands. It will be completely determined by how the mind feels about itself.

Our root fantasy is that "I" am real and that it's possible for "me" to be happy.

We humans have come to a crossroads in our history: we can either destroy the world or create a good future.

Shambhala is a tradition where there were rulers, kings, and powerful people who actually were very benevolent and kind. They got things done, and they didn't abandon their tradition.

Being human is a precious situation, and we shouldn't waste time in useless activities.

You need to eat well, sleep well, and have a roof over your head, but don’t go much further than that before extending yourself to others.

It doesn’t matter if you’re rich or poor-the determining factor of success and happiness is contentment.
