The mind is compared to a wild horse$$$and the practice of ethics is compared to the reins by which this wild horse is tamed.

Curiosity is gluttony. To see is to devour.

Life's great happiness is to be convinced we are loved.

Nobody loves the light like the blind man.

Within all beings$$$ there is the seed of perfection. However$$$ compassion is required in order to activate that seed which is inherent in our hearts and minds....

We must conduct research and then accept the results. If they don't stand up to experimentation$$$ Buddha's own words must be rejected.

Unless the direction of science is guided by a consciously ethical motivation$$$ especially compassion$$$ its effects may fail to bring benefit. They may indeed cause great harm.

What we do and think in our own lives$$$ then$$$ becomes of extreme importance as it effects everything we're connected to.

Sometimes one creates a dynamic impression by saying something$$$ and sometimes one creates as significant an impressionby remaining silent.

Good wine is a necessity of life for me.
