As we watch the world embrace the Olympics in the coming days, let us remember why the modern Olympics came into being: to bring nations closer together, to have the youth of the world compete in sports, rather than fight in war. As long as we believe our own war-driven thoughts, there will always be war, in ourselves, in our families, and in our world. As long as we believe our thoughts, there will always be war.

It's not the darkness that people fear; it's what they imagine into the darkness.

Fear is blind. There are some options in it, but they're very limited as compared to the options available to the fearless mind.

Everyone has equal wisdom. It is absolutely equally distributed. No one is wiser than anyone else.

I have an expression I say a lot: I'm in a hurry. There's suffering on this planet that is so easy to break through if the mind is open to doing so.

There is no mistake in nature.

I like to say understanding is the power.
