I find the best way to love someone is not to change them, but instead, help them reveal the greatest version of themselves.

The essence of the Dharma (the teachings of the Buddha) is about identifying the cause of our suffering & alleviating it.

Mindfulness is the agent of our freedom. Through mindfulness we arrive at faith we grow in wisdom & we attain equanimity.

Let us not forget the suffering and the ones locked in chains and bound. (Hebrew 13:3). Let us extend our freedom and health.

If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.[Inaugural Address, January 20 1961]

Forgiveness that is insincere, forced or premature can be more psychologically damaging than authentic bitterness & rage.

Why, we are just the same - I am only a little girl like you. It's just an accident that I am not you, and you are not me!

This is the shade of difference: the door of the physician should never be shut, the door of the priest should always be open.

Let us think about our attitude of compassion and understanding with which we choose to respond to what is happening around us

The heart of a Christian, who believes and feels, cannot pass the hardships and deprivations of the poor without helping them.

In a world plagued with commonplace tragedies, only one thing exists that truly has the power to save lives, and that is love.

We do know that no person can be saved except through Christ. We do not know that only those who know Him can be saved by Him.

Be a gift, a light, a blessing as far as the eye can see to answer a call as well as a genuine, compassionate heart can reach.

The light of compassion opens the petals of the heart. When the petals of the heart unfold fragrance spreads across the valley.

If you have nothing but compassion, you are still very wealthy; if you have everything but compassion, you are still very poor!
