Compassion is like springwater under the ground. Your life is like a pipe that can tap into that underground spring. When you tap into it, water immediately comes up. So drive your pipe into the ground. Tap into the water of compassion.

You cannot find any peace by escaping from human pain and suffering you have to find peace and harmony right in the midst of human pain. That is the purpose of spiritual life

Be present, from moment to moment, right in the middle of the real stream of time. That gives you spiritual security. That is why in Buddhism we don't try to escape from impermanence we face time itself in our daily living.

Make positive effort for the good.

The moment between before and after is called Truth.

Whatever you think is delusion.

The nature of ignorance is to lack deep communication with nature or with the universe. It is to separate, to isolate, to create discrimination and differences, so that finally we cannot communicate as a harmonious whole. These differences we create appear as fighting, anger, hatred, and war.

The important point of spiritual practice is not to try to escape your life, but to face it - exactly and completely.

Spiritual security means you are fully alive and comfortable in your life as it is, without expecting anything.
