Let us have that kind of effort from all, except those child or handicapped or too old. But the many people, they sort of have the opportunity to create trouble or to create a good thing, now should think more seriously, should not indulge any work to create more problems.

I think there's every reason this 21st century will be much happier.

My earnest request is that you practice love and kindness whether you believe in a religion or not

In Buddhism, ignorance as the root cause of suffering refers to a fundamental misperception of the true nature of the self and all phenomena.

Without inner peace it is impossible to have world peace.

I believe compassion to be one of the few things we can practice that will bring immediate and long-term happiness to our lives.

Even if only a few individuals try to create mental peace and happiness within themselves, and act responsibly and kind-heartedly towards others, they will have a positive influence in their community.
