Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.
My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness.
Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can’t help them, at least don’t hurt them.
The purpose of all the major religious traditions is not to construct big temples on the outside, but to create temples of goodness and compassion inside, in our hearts.
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 kindnes.
Whether one believes in a religion or not, and whether one believes in rebirth or not, there isn’t anyone who doesn’t appreciate kindness and compassion.
We can live without religion and meditation, but we cannot survive without human affection.
A truly compassionate attitude toward others does not change even if they behave negatively or hurt you.
If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.
Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive.
True compassion is not just an emotional response but a firm commitment founded on reason.
Only the development of compassion and understanding for others can bring us the tranquility and happiness we all seek.
Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive.
If you can, help others; if you cannot do that, at least do not harm them.
Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
With realization of one’s own potential and self-confidence in one’s ability, one can build a better world.
The roots of all goodness lie in the soil of appreciation for goodness.
