Brian Weiss Quotes

Do not judge but love and be loved, if you want to be really happy.

I've spent quite a bit of my life as a meditation teacher and writer commending the strengths of love and compassion.

If you love God, you can't hate anything or anyone. If the love one offers is met with hate, it doesn't die, rather it manifests in the form of compassion. That is universal love. It is not just a sentiment. It cannot be manifested merely by a shift in mental disposition. It can only come from inner cleaning, an inner awakening.

Compassion is the ultimate expression of your highest self

In our concern for others, we worry less about ourselves. When we worry less about ourselves an experience of our own suffering is less intense. What does this tell us? Firstly, because our every action has a universal dimension, a potential impact on others' happiness, ethics are necessary as a means to ensure that we do not harm others. Secondly, it tells us that genuine happiness consists in those spiritual qualities of love, compassion, patience, tolerance and forgiveness and so on. For it is these which provide both for our happiness and others' happiness.

A lot of the powerful religious leaders, from Jesus to Buddha to Tibetan monks, they're really talking about the same things: love and acceptable, and the value of friendship, and respecting yourself so you can respect others.

Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart.

Compassion enables you to reach to the heavens and look through the heart of God.

Did I offer peace today? Did I bring a smile to someone's face? Did I say words of healing? Did I let go of my anger and resentment? Did I forgive? Did I love? These are the real questions. I must trust that the little bit of love that I sow now will bear many fruits, here in this world and the life to come.

My dream is to live a good life and be loving, be close to God and be a good human being and bring peace to people.

Yoga is about compassion and generosity towards others. It means being mindful of the world around us.

I know that some of the spiritual beliefs that I have are that if I come from a place of love, and I try to get out of my ego and my desire to want more and be selfish in any shape or form, then whatever I'm doing is not good.

Let love flow so that it cleanses the world. Then man can live in peace, instead of the state of turmoil he has created through his past ways of life, with all those material interests and earthly ambitions.

And as I stumbled onto Eastern philosophy and Buddhism, it was the first time I had ever read any sort of philosophy that really made a tremendous amount of sense.

We experience God to the extent to which we love, forgive, and focus on the good in others and ourselves.

The reason I love Jesus because he's a really good guy. He's completely opposed to running around and judging people.

We must teach compassion and tolerance and encourage kindness, selflessness, and loving acceptance of all who are created in the image of God.
