I think when tragic things happen it is on surface. It is like the ocean. One the surface a waves and sometimes the wave is very serious and strong. But it comes and goes, comes and goes, and underneath, the ocean always remains calm. Tibetans have a saying: "If bad news comes to you listen here" (points to the right ear) "and let it our here" (points to the left ear).

Have no discrepancy between what you say, what you are and what you do.

Morally speaking, we should be concerned for our whole environment.

See the positive side, the potential, and make an effort.

Forgiveness doesn't mean forget what happened. If something is serious and it is necessary to take counter-measures, you have to take counter-measures.

As far as ignorance is concerned, not just Buddhism, every religion recognizes it as the source of suffering.

A disciplined mind leads to happiness, and an undisciplined mind leads to suffering.
