You get [something] in your body that is the suffering or the problem, and then you [add] a second one, which is worry. In both cases, [it is] pointless.

Worries are pointless. If there's a solution, there's no need to worry. If no solution exists, there's no point to worry.

To love oneself is to love life. It is essential to understand that we make ourselves happy in making others happy.

Happiness is a skill, emotional balance is a skill, compassion and altruism are skills, and like any skill they need to be developed. That's what education is about.

The basic root of happiness lies in our minds; outer circumstances are nothing more than adverse or favourable.

Let us live simply in the freshness of the present moment, in the clarity of pure awakened mind.

We deal with our mind from morning till evening, and it can be our best friend or our worst enemy.

We all have the ability to study the causes of suffering and gradually to free ourselves from them....it is not the magnitude of the task that matters, it's the magnitude of our courage.

Authentic happiness is not linked to an activity, it is a state of being.

Happiness is a state of inner fulfillment, not the gratification of inexhaustible desires for outward things.
