friends order keys
The mind is key. If anything should be considered a god, so to speak, it is the mind, not money. A healthy positive mind is the utmost priority. But if we were to reverse the order of these priorities, what would happen? I find it hard to imagine how a person with great wealth, bad health, no friends, and no peace of mind could feel even slightly happy.
economic social theory
As far as social-economic theory is concerned, I am still a Marxist
space world boundaries
If we looked down at the world from space, we would not see any demarcations of national boundaries. We would simply see one small planet, just one.
buddhist buddhism trying
Don't try to use what you learn from Buddhism to be a Buddhist; use it to be a better whatever-you-al ready-are.
heart one-day wish
My hope and wish is that one day, formal education will pay attention to what I call 'education of the heart'.
lying compassion needs
Love and compassion ... are the ultimate source of human happiness, and the need for them lies at the very core of our being.
spiritual practice long
The nature of the mind is such that if certain mental qualities are developed on a sound basis, they not only remain, but they also increase. In fact, once properly developed, the mind's good qualities eventually increase indefinitely. Therefore spiritual practice brings us long-term happiness and inner strength.
spiritual heart quality
Peace in the world depends on peace in the hearts of individuals; this depends on each of us practising ethics by disciplining our negative thoughts and emotions, and developing basic spiritual qualities.
meaningful compassion lasting-happiness
Compassion is one of the principal things that make our lives meaningful. It is the source of all lasting happiness and joy.
death clothes mind
If you are mindful of death, it will not come as a surprise-you will not be anxious. You will feel that death is merely like changing clothes. Consequently, at that point you will be able to maintain your calmness of mind.
humanity world compassionate
We can only transform humanity and create a happier more compassionate world through education.
buddhist age levels
The basic Buddhist stand on the question of equality between the genders is age-old. At the highest tantric levels, at the highest esoteric level, you must respect women: every woman.
kindness selfish winning
The simple recognition that everyone else wants to be happy and not to suffer, just as I do, serves as a constant reminder against selfishness and partiality. It reminds us there is little to be gained from being kind and generous while hoping to win something in return. Actions motivated by a desire to earn a good name for ourselves are still selfish, even if they appear to be acts of kindness.
compassion concern-for-others tolerance
If indeed the qualities such as love, patience, tolerance, and forgiveness are what happiness consists in, and if it is also true that compassion, defined as concern for others, is both the source and the fruit of these qualities, then the more we are compassionate, the more we provide for our own happiness.
