About This Quote
Our world is filled with people who are quiet and peaceful. They live their lives surrounded by the people who love them and care for them, but they have no need for anyone else. This is a problem because if we want to be happy, we have to have compassion and understanding for others. In the Buddhist teachings, this involves loving all living things equally. We can do that by staying mindful of how others affect our own happiness.
