If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.

Happiness is not something ready-made. It comes from your own actions.

As individuals we can influence our own families. Our families can influence our communities and our communities can influence our nations.

The remedy is to look deeper and recognize that we human beings are physically, mentally and emotionally the same.

Every day, think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to be alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others; to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am not going to get angry or think badly about others. I am going to benefit others as much as I can.

For our life to be of value, I think we must develop basic good human qualities — warmth, kindness, compassion. Then our life becomes meaningful and more peaceful — happier.

The ultimate source of happiness is not money and power, but warmheartedness.

This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.

The planet does not need more successful people. The planet desperately needs more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers, and lovers of all kinds.

The more you are motivated by love, the more fearless and free your action will be.

My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness.

Live a life that transcends your own!

Seek to be an oasis of caring and concern as you live your life.

In order to lead a meaningful life, you need to cherish others, pay attention to human values and try to cultivate inner peace.

Let us try to recognize the precious nature of each day.

Life is as dear to a mute creature as it is to man. Just as one wants happiness and fears pain, just as one wants to live and not die, so do other creatures.

To remain indifferent to the challenges we face is indefensible. If the goal is noble, whether or not it is realized within our lifetime is largely irrelevant. What we must do therefore is to strive and persevere and never give up.

This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.

No matter what sort of difficulties, how painful experience is, if we lose our hope, that's our real disaster.

There is a saying in Tibetan, 'Tragedy should be utilized as a source of strength.'

The greater the level of calmness of our mind, the greater our peace of mind, the greater our ability to enjoy a happy and joyful life.

The very purpose of our life is to seek happiness.

A genuine, affectionate smile is very important in our day-to-day lives.

Life was a wheel, its only job was to turn, and it always came back to where it started
