Love is the most practical thing in the world. To love, to be kind, not to be greedy, not to be ambitious, not to be influenced by people but to think for yourself-these are all very practical things, and they will bring about a practical, happy society.

Everything, husband, wife, or even the body, is only illusory. These are all shackles of illusion. Unless you can free yourself from these bondages, you will never be able to go to the other shore of the world.

If you keep giving, the world will take care of you.

This world is moving around like a wheel. That indeed is the last birth in which one gets completely rid of all desires.

People do not seem to realize that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.

You should do your duty in the world with love, and that alone will contribute significantly to your progress in the path of enlightenment.

A world is a circumscribed portion of sky... it is a piece cut off from the infinite.

The philosopher is in love with truth, that is, not with the changing world of sensation, which is the object of opinion, but with the unchanging reality which is the object of knowledge.

Spirituality is not to be learned by flight from the world, or by running away from things, or by turning solitary and going apart from the world. Rather, we must learn an inner solitude wherever or with whomsoever we may be. We must learn to penetrate things and find God there.

If we open our eyes, if we open our minds, if we open our hearts, we will find that this world is a magical place. It is magical not because it tricks us or changes unexpectedly into something else, but because it can be so vividly and brilliantly.

There are infinite worlds both like and unlike this world of ours. For the atoms being infinite in number... are borne on far out into space.

If I am despised by the world, If it considers me as nothing, A divine peace floods me. For I have the Host as my support. When I draw near the ciborium, All my sighs are heard... To be nothing is my glory. I am the atom of Jesus.

I just want to live as a simple Buddhist monk, but during the last thirty years I have made many friends around the world and I want to have close contact with these people. I want to contribute to harmony and peace of mind, for less conflict. Wherever the possibility is, I'm ready. This is my life's goal.

If individuals breathe through the right side, they said, they tend to become more active and aggressive, more alert and more oriented toward the external world.

When you truly feel this equal love for all, when your heart has expanded so much that it embraces the whole of creation, you will certainly not feel like giving up this or that.
