Caring for others is the basis of worldly success.

If we do not appreciate the sensitivity and subtlety of the human heart, how can we appreciate the sensitivity and subtlety of the natural world?

In a speedy and aggressive culture, we need different principles to live by-bravery and insight. The first moment of bravery is building trust in the mind, which we do in meditation. When we know how to create peace in our own mind, we can transform the world.

As the conceptual, material world increases its hold on us, and inanimate objects become more lifelike, we humans must become more human. Open hearts, kindness and care-these are our most precious gifts.

After you run, there's a sense of accomplishment; you feel like your life is meaningful. It's a moment of clarity.

Ultimately, as individuals we each have to ask ourselves to be courageous and apply certain principles.

We want to infuse our day with good habits so that we can turn seemingly mundane situations into a ceremony of goodness.
