Humanity has experienced many revolutionary changes over the course of history: revolutions in agriculture, in science, industrial production, as well as numerous political revolutions. But these have all been limited to the external aspects of our individual and collective lives.

Within the heart of every person exists the flame of wisdom that transforms all suffering into kindling for the fire of creative energy.

Nothing is more precious than peace. Peace is the most basic starting point for the advancement of humankind.

Take heart, and do not let disappointment or shame stop you from moving forward. The true outcome of life is only apparent at the very end.

A truley heroic way of life lies in squarely confronting and courageously overcoming the pounding vicissitudes that life always throws in our paths
