    Compassion can heal not only inner anger, but the world's violence.

    Compassion also means loving enemies as well as friends, which isn't easy.

    Everyday activities can be destructive if motivations are not sincere and compassionate.

    If motivation is sincere, then there is no problem. But if it's politically motivated, that's something different.

    Many of the world's problems and conflicts arise because we have lost sight of the basic humanity that binds us all together as a human family.

    If someone does not practice religious virtues when times are good, they will be unable to do so when adversity comes and faith is more urgently needed.

    There are two aspects to the human heart: one that is caring and the other that is a troublemaker, which is selfishness.

    So many of our problems are the result of overactive imaginations.

    I have always felt that the Buddhist culture can make a positive contribution to the rest of the world, because of its principle stress on compassion, and especially in the Mahayana tradition by its profession of nonviolence in various human activities.

    "I started learning English as early as forty-eight years of age. Broken English helps me communicate better and creates laughter when I make mistakes."

    New ideas and visions will be useless in the [new] millennium if they do not lead to change.

    Buddhism does not recognize a creator of the universe -- no single God -- but rather it subscribes to a boundless continuum that had no beginning and will have no end.

    If you sacrifice others for yourself, you will suffer the consequences.

    I always try to communicate with any foreigner I meet on the assumption that we are both simply human beings.

    Chanting and prayer alone does not make a good practicing Buddhist. What is essential is that one must act with compassion, strive to understand life's complexities, and have faith in Buddha.

    People are wrong to focus narrowly on themselves.

    A simple smile. That's the start of opening your heart and being compassionate to others.
