Don't be a person of success, be a person of value.

Follow the three R's: - Respect for self. - Respect for others. - Responsibility for all your actions.

If I had not been a monk, I would have become an engineer.

All religion teaches the virtues of love, altruism and patience, while showing us how to discipline and transform ourselves to achieve inner peace and a kind heart. Therefore, they are worthy of our respect.

My message is the practice of compassion, love and kindness.

My belief is that the various religious traditions have great potential to increase compassion, the sense of caring for one another, and the spirit of reconciliation. However, I believe that a human being, without religious faith, can be a very good person - sincere, a good heart, having a sense of concern for others - without belief in a particular religious faith.

The essence of compassion is a desire to alleviate the suffering of others and to promote their well-being
