Since loving kindness is the basis of a happy life, It’s my number one commitment to promote awareness of the importance of warm-heartedness

We experience happiness on a sensory level that is relatively short-lived. But lasting happiness is related to our state of mind.

Compassion brings us peace of mind. It brings a smile to our face and genuine smiles bring us closer together.

On a mental level kindness and compassion give rise to lasting joy. They reduce fear.

A more peaceful world and a more peaceful century require that we rely not on weapons but on developing a widespread inner peace.

We are all social animals and compassion, care and concern for others bring us together.

Having a calm and compassionate mind enables us to use our natural intelligence more effectively.

Protecting our environment is not a luxury we can choose to enjoy, but a simple matter of survival.

Peace in the world depends on our relating to each other with compassion.

Although bringing about inner change is difficult, it is absolutely worthwhile to try. What is important is to try our best.

Motivation is very important. We can show love, respect for others, and honesty in whatever we do to help humanity.

If human society loses the value of justice, compassion, and honesty, the next generation will face greater difficulties and more suffering.

The happiness of childhood, the calming of a child's fears and the healthy development of its self-confidence depend directly upon love.

Money and power attract friends. But it’s not you they’re friends with — just your money and power. Only affection brings genuine friends.

If in day to day life you lead a good life, honestly, with love, compassion, and less selfishness, then automatically you will find peace.

The future can be different if we choose to make it so. There is no time for complacency, hope lies in what action we take.
