"I believe compassion to be one of the few things we can practice that will bring immediate and long-term happiness to our lives. I’m not talking about the short-term gratification of pleasures like sex, drugs or gambling (though I’m not knocking them), but something that will bring true and lasting happiness. The kind that sticks."
"There is a saying in Tibetan, 'Tragedy should be utilized as a source of strength.'No matter what sort of difficulties, how painful experience is, if we lose our hope, that's our real disaster."
"The topic of compassion is not at all religious business; it is important to know it is human business, it is a question of human survival."
"Peace does not mean an absence of conflicts; differences will always be there. Peace means solving these differences through peaceful means; through dialogue, education, knowledge; and through humane ways."
"Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other."
"Happiness doesn't always come from a pursuit. Sometimes it comes when we least expect it."
