One man practicing kindness in the wilderness is worth all the temples this world pulls.

Practice kindness all day to everybody and you will realize you’re already in heaven now.

Do you know what people really want? Everyone, I mean. Everybody in the world is thinking: I wish there was just one other person I could really talk to, who could really understand me, who'd be kind to me. That's what people really want, if they're telling the truth.

If a person seems wicked, do not cast him away. Awaken him with your words, elevate him with your deeds, repay his injury with your kindness. Do not cast him away; cast away his wickedness.

It's a little embarrassing that after 45 years of research & study, the best advice I can give people is to be a little kinder to each other.

I admire the fact that the central core of Buddhist teaching involves mindfulness and loving kindness and compassion.
