As a cowherd with a rod drives cows to the field, so aging and death drive the life of living beings.
- Dhammapada, 135, translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu

Live in joy, In love, Even among those who hate. Live in joy, In health, Even among the afflicted. Live in joy, In peace, Even among the troubled. Look within. Be still. Free from fear and attachment, Know the sweet joy of the way.
- from the Dhammapada

World peace

World peace can be realized when people turn
their love for their family into compassion for
the world as a big family.

According to Buddhist psychology, most of our troubles are due to our passionate desire for, attachment to things that we misapprehend as enduring entities. The pursuit of the objects of our desire and attachment involves the use of aggression and competitivenessThese mental processes easily translate into actions, breeding belligerence. Such processes have been going on in the human mind since time immemorial, but their execution has become more effective under modern conditions. What can we do to control and regulate these poisons—delusion, greed and aggression? For it is these poisons that are behind almost every trouble in the world.

Preservation of wonders

There is a shutter release button in everyone mind.
When inspired, we should quickly and mindfully
press the button to preserve the wonderful scenes.

When everything is clean-clear in your own mind, nobody can create obstacles for you.
- Lama Thubten Yeshe, "The Bliss of Inner Fire"

Tranquility

A quiet environment makes one forget about
worries. A tranquil mind helps one dedicate
oneself in serving people.

Whoever, with a rod, harasses an innocent man, unarmed, quickly falls into any of ten things: harsh pains, devastation, a broken body, grave illness, mental derangement, trouble with the government, violent slander, relatives lost, property dissolved, houses burned down. At the break-up of the body this one with no disconcernment, reappears in hell.

- Dhammapada, 137-140, translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu

A monk asked, All of the buddhas and all of the buddadharmas come forth from this sutra. What is this sutra? Qinshan said, Forever turning.

As a Buddhist monk my concern extends to all members of the human family and, indeed, to all sentient beings who suffer. I believe all suffering is caused by ignorance. People inflict pain on others in the selfish pursuit of their own happiness or satisfaction.

- His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Nobel Peace Prize Acceptance Speech, Oslo, December 1989

About truth

There is no new or old truth. It depends only
on invidual's karma and becomes applicable
to people and matters in various situations.

Buddhism does not forbid you:

from seeking riches.

Buddhism just likes you to not forget
your humble beginnings.

May I likewise attain the cutting-off of Craving and clinging. Whatever faults I have until I attain Liberation, May they quickly perish. Wherever I Am born, may there be An upright mind, mindfulness Wisdom, austerity and vigor. May harmful influences not weaken my Efforts. The Buddha is the unexcelled Protector, the Dharma is the Supreme protection, Peerless is the Silent Buddha, the Sangha is my true refuge. By the power of these Supreme Ones, May I rise above all ignorance.

By giving alms with gratitude in person, one
can better experience the value of life.

Subhuti asked: "What does buddha mean?" The Buddha answered: "Buddha is reality. One who thoroughly comprehends all the factors of existence is a buddha."

About hatred

While vengeance and hostility produce retributive
battles, only compassion can pacify hatred.

Whose minds are well-developed in the factors of self-awakening, who delight in non-clinging, relinquishing grasping-- resplendent, their effluents ended: they, in the world, are Unbound.

- Dhammapada, 6, translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu

Sakka asked: "What is the cause of self-interest?" The Buddha answered: "It is perception of the world as one's object." "How does one overcome this perception of the world as apart from oneself?" "By acting for the increase of goodness and happiness. It is in this way that the world ceases to be one's object."
- Digha Nikaya

Lost of quality

To seek ease and comfort for the sake of
convenience will deprive us the quality of
humanitarian culture.
