We can reject everything else: religion, ideology, all received wisdom. But we cannot escape the necessity of love and compassion. This, then, is my true religion, my simple faith.

Love and Compassion are the true religions to me. But to develop this, we do not need to believe in any religion.

The purpose of all the major religious traditions is not to construct big temples on the outside, but to create temples of goodness and compassion inside, in our hearts.

Whatever our religion, we know that if we really want to love, we must first learn to forgive before anything else.

One of the basic points is kindness. With kindness, with love and compassion, with a feeling that is the essence of brotherhood and sisterhood, one will have inner peace. This compassionate feeling is the basis of inner peace.

A heart full of love and compassion is the main source of inner strength, willpower, happiness, and mental tranquility.
