Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive.
Dalai Lama XIV
Only the development of compassion and understanding for others can bring us the tranquility and happiness we all seek.

I always try to share with others the idea that in order to become compassionate it is not necessary to become religious.

The topic of compassion is not at all religious business; it is important to know it is human business, it is a question of human survival.

Now there are many, many people in the world, but relatively few with whom we interact, and even fewer who cause us problems. So when you come across such a chance for practicing patience and tolerance, you should treat it with gratitude. It is rare. Just as having unexpectedly found a treasure in your own house, you should be happy and grateful toward your enemy for providing you that precious opportunity. Because if you are ever to be successful in your practice of patience and tolerance, which are critical factors in counteracting negative emotions, it is due to your own efforts and also the opportunity provided by your enemy.

Compassion is not religious business, it is human business, it is not luxury, it is essential for our own peace and mental stability, it is essential for human survival.

If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.

Once we are able to combine a feeling of empathy for others with a profound understanding of the suffering they experience, we become able to generate genuine compassion for them. We must work at this continually.
A truly compassionate attitude toward others does not change even if they behave negatively or hurt you.
Compassion is the radicalism of our time.
Whether you believe in God or not does not matter so much, whether you believe in Buddha or not does not matter so much; as a Buddhist, whether you believe in reincarnation or not does not matter so much. You must lead a good life. And a good life does not mean just good food, good clothes, good shelter. These are not sufficient. A good motivation is what is needed: compassion, without dogmatism, without complicated philosophy; just understanding that others are human brothers and sisters and respecting their rights and human dignity.
