We can live without religion and meditation, but we cannot survive without human affection.
Sleep is the best meditation.
There are techniques of Buddhism, such as meditation, that anyone can adopt.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.
Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can’t help them, at least don’t hurt them.
This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.
Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend – or a meaningful day.
It is very important to generate a good attitude, a good heart, as much as possible. From this, happiness in both the short term and the long term for both yourself and others will come.
Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive.
