By meditating on affectionate love and wishing love for just one moment we accumulate greater merit than we would by giving food three times every day to all those who are hungry in the world.

When the turbulence of distracting thoughts subside and our mind becomes still, a deep happiness and contentment naturally arises from within.

Love is the real nuclear bomb that destroys all our enemies, because when we love all living beings, we have no enemies.

We all wish for world peace, but world peace will never be achieved unless we first establish peace within our own minds.

Developing compassion and wisdom and helping those in need is the true meaning of life.

Everything we have and everything we enjoy, including our very life, is due to the kindness of others. In fact, every happiness there is in the world arises as a result of others' kindness.

All the happiness there is in the world arises from wishing others to be happy.

The moment we let go of our obsessive concern for our own welfare, our mind naturally relaxes and becomes lighter.

If everyone practiced cherishing others, many of the major problems of the world would be solved in a few years.

When we learn to accept difficult circumstances patiently, the real problem disappears.

We are all interconnected in a web of kindness from which it is impossible to separate ourself.

Stop beating yourself up over the past.

The light shines in our hearts and our lives.

Education is the light which lets us see the universe in a better way. It often lets us understand her incredible beauty.

She smelled like water that had been warmed by the sun, and she also had the sharp, enticing aroma of birch leaves.

I come from a family where gravy is considered a beverage.

Everything I do, I'm sort of half in, half out.

No one will ever be the servant of the Son without serving the Mother.

I'm over dudes trying to look like they're in boy bands.

The people we most love do become a physical part of us, ingrained in our synapses, in the pathways where memories are created.
