All forms of violence, especially war, are totally unacceptable as means to settle disputes between and among nations, groups and persons.

Overcoming negative tendencies and enhancing positive potential are the very essence of the spiritual path.

With the realization of ones own potential and self-confidence in ones ability, one can build a better world. According to my own experience, self-confidence is very important. That sort of confidence is not a blind one; it is an awareness of ones own potential. On that basis, human beings can transform themselves by increasing the good qualities and reducing the negative qualities.

Someone else's action should not determine your response.

A calm mind helps our human intelligence to assess the situation realistically.

We can solve many problems in an appropriate way, without any difficulty, if we cultivate harmony, friendship and respect for one another.
