As we cultivate peace and happiness in ourselves, we also nourish peace and happiness in those we love.
Other human beings have a right to peace and happiness that is equal to our own; therefore we have a responsibility to help those in need.
Love is supposed to bring you peace and happiness. If you are not feeling this in a relationship, you are living an illusion.
However capable and skillful an individual may be, left alone, he or she will not survive. When we are sick or very young or very old, we must depend on the support of others. There is no significant division between us and other people, because our basic natures are the same. If we wish to ensure everyone's peace and happiness, we need to cultivate a healthy respect for the diversity of our peoples and cultures, founded on an understanding of this fundamental sameness of all human beings.
All pain in life comes from wishing things were different than they are. Conversely, peace and happiness must come from accepting life as it is and breaking through the barriers of illusion to do so... All things that we label good or bad often hold in them surprises if we stay open. Each of us has choice in how we interpret life's events and in this way we are each responsible for our own reality.
We forget that despite the superficial differences between us, people are equal in their basic wish for peace and happiness.
