The More We Feel Concern For Others

All Human Beings Have An Innate Desire To Overcome Suffering, To Find Happiness. Training The Mind To Think Differently, Through Meditation, Is One Important Way To Avoid Suffering And Be Happy.

It Is Our Custom To Say That Someone Is 'lucky' Or 'unlucky' If They Meet With Fortunate Or Unfortunate Circumstances, Respectively. It Is, However, Too Simplistic To Think In Terms Of Random 'luck.' Even From A Scientific Point Of View, This Is Not A Sufficient Explanation.

I Remain Convinced That Most Human Conflicts Can Be Solved Through Genuine Dialogue Conducted With A Spirit Of Openness And Reconciliation.

Ultimately, The Human Being Is In The Mercy Of Nature.

To Be Aware Of A Single Shortcoming Within Oneself Is More Useful Than To Be Aware Of A Thousand In Somebody Else. Rather Than Speaking Badly About People And In Ways That Will Produce Friction And Unrest In Their Lives, We Should Practice A Purer Perception Of Them, And When We Speak Of Others, Speak Of Their Good Qualities.
