The key to finding a happy balance in modem lives is simplicity.
We must never forget that it is through our actions, words, and thoughts that we have a choice.
There is nothing to fear except our own untamed mind.

Light must come from inside. You cannot ask the darkness to leave; you must turn on the light.
Whenever we act negatively, it leads to pain and suffering; whenever we act positively, it eventually results in happiness.
Our problems, all come from nothing; they are all based on a misunderstanding that does not even exist.
Just as the ocean has waves, and the sun has rays, so the mind's own radiance is its thoughts and emotions.
