Buddhism for you -- Love 20

I am convinced that the only way to regenerate love in our world is for people to come to understand the meaning of their own lives, of the life the universe and of the relation between the two kinds of life.
This is true because it is possible to show understanding of the lives of other beings only when one has an understanding of one's own life.

Compassion consists of two parts: imparting joy to others and relieving others' suffering.
These actions come naturally to the Buddha; they don't require forced effort.
Speaking, lending a hand to others, expounding the Law--these are all acts and deeds of compassion.
Someone who attains this state of life is hailed as a Buddha and enjoys the respect and trust of everyone.--Josei Toda
