I believe the ultimate aim of all human beings is to obtain happiness and a sense of fulfillment... I have always stressed the importance of combining both the mental and material approach to achieving happiness for humankind.

Our ancient experience confirms at every point that everything is linked together, everything is inseparable.

I have never been any place where I was not first invited. And upon invitation, if I feel that there is potential for making some contribution to humanity, I will comply in spite of being tired.

In daily practice, reflect on the benefits of love, compassion and kindness, then reflect on the disadvantages of anger. Such continuous contemplation, the growing appreciation of love, has the effect of reducing our inclination towards hatred and increasing our respect for love. By this means even anger can be diminished.

Other human beings have a right to peace and happiness that is equal to our own; therefore we have a responsibility to help those in need.

When you think everything is someone else's fault, you will suffer a lot.

Don't compare me with Jesus. He is a great master, a great master.
