Pure love is unmixed with attachment and stems entirely from a concern for others’ happiness. It never gives rise to problems but only to peace and happiness for both ourself and others.

There are no valid reasons whatsoever for thinking that we are more important than others. For Buddhas, who have unmistaken minds and see things exactly as they are, all beings are equally important.

She was embraced by the Bushmen and the Himba tribespeople of the Kalahari, who taught her how to survive on roots and berries, as well as how to speak their language.

If we cherish only others we will be happy in this life, we will perform many virtuous actions that lead to happiness in future lives, we will become free from the delusions that keep us in samsara, and we will quickly develop all the qualities needed to attain full enlightenment.

If, as stated, a buddha has the ability to relieve all beings of their suffering, why have the countless buddhas of the past not yet led everyone to enlightenment by now? The answer is as follows. Because buddhas have overcome all obstructions and limitations they possess all the wisdom, compassion and skilful means necessary for leading others to buddhahood. However, if sentient beings from their own side do not exert the necessary effort - if they do not bother to follow the path shown to them by the buddhas - they will remain stuck within cyclic existence.
