As human, we all have the same human potential, unless there is some sort of retarded brain function. The wonderful human brain is the source of our strength and the source of our future, provided we utilize it in the right direction. If we use the brilliant human mind in the wrong way, it is really a disaster.

We need to understand how destructive emotions affect us and constructive emotions can help us, so that we can maintain our peace of mind.

Ignorance is the source of hatred, and the way to get rid of ignorance is realization.

As human beings we have the same experience of destructive and constructive emotions. We also have a human mind capable of developing wisdom. We all have the same Buddha nature.

Children are our greatest untapped resource.

Always engage yourself positively with situations.

The development of a kind heart, or feeling of closeness for all human beings, does not involve any of the kind of religiosity we normally associate with it...It is for everyone, irrespective of race, religion or any political affiliation.
