Love Is Wanting Others To Be Happy.

Giving Up Attachment To The World Does Not Mean That You Set Yourself Apart From It. Generating A Desire For Others To Be Happy Increases Your Humanity. As You Become Less Attached To The World, You Become More Humane. As The Very Purpose Of Spiritual Practice Is To Help Others, You Must Remain In Society.

The Development Of A Kind Heart, Or Feeling Of Closeness For All Human Beings, Does Not Involve Any Of The Kind Of Religiosity We Normally Associate With It...it Is For Everyone, Irrespective Of Race, Religion Or Any Political Affiliation.

May I Examine My Mind In All Actions And As Soon As A Negative State Occurs, Since It Endangers Myself And Others, May I Firmly Face And Avert It.

I Consider Myself To Be Just One Among 7 Billion Human Beings. If I Were To Think Of Myself As Different From Others, Or As Something Special, It Would Create A Barrier Between Us. What Makes Us The Same Is That We All Want To Lead Happy Lives And Gather Friends Around Us. And Friendship Is Based On Trust, Honesty And Openness.

We Are Visitors On This Planet. We Are Here For One Hundred Years At The Very Most. During That Period We Must Try To Do Something Good, Something Useful, With Our Lives. If You Contribute To Other People's Happiness, You Will Find The True Meaning Of Life.
