„A vallás nemcsak a szabályokról, templomokról, monostorokról, vagy más külső jelekről szól, ezek csak, hasonlóan a halláshoz és a gondolkodáshoz csak az elme megszelídítésének mellékes tényezői. Ha az elme gyakorlottá válik, akkor birtoklója a vallása gyakorlójává válik, ha az elme nem válik gyakorlottá, akkor a birtoklója sem.”
Eredeti: Religion does not mean just precepts, a temple, monastery, or other external signs, for these as well as hearing and thinking are subsidiary factors in taming the mind. When the mind becomes the practices, one is a practitioner of religion, and when the mind does not become the practices one is not.

Eredeti: If in our daily life we can smile, if we can be peaceful and happy, not only we, but everyone will profit from it. If we really know how to live, what better way to start the day than with a smile? Our smile affirms our awareness and determination to live in peace and joy. The source of a true smile is an awakened mind.

Eredeti: All major religious traditions carry basically the same message, that is love, compassion and forgiveness ... the important thing is they should be part of our daily lives.
