Everybody wants a happy life and a peaceful mind, but we have to produce peace of mind through our own practice.

Whatever the intellectual quality of the education given our children, it is vital that it include elements of love and compassion, for nothing guarantees that knowledge alone will be truly useful to human beings.

Always embrace the common humanity that lies at the heart of us all.
