One Mongolian leader became a very, very brutal dictator and eventually became a murderer. Previously, he was a monk, and then he became a revolutionary. Under the influence of his new ideology, he actually killed his own teacher. Pol Pot's family background was Buddhist. Whether he himself was a Buddhist at a young age, I don't know. Even Chairman Mao's family background was Buddhist. So one day, if the Dalai Lama becomes a mass murderer, he will become the most deadly of mass murderers.

If your own mental attitude is correct, even if you remain in a hostile atmosphere, you feel happy.

It is not enough to be compassionate, we must act.

We need a little more compassion, and if we cannot have it, then no politician or even a magician can save the planet.

A learned person will become noble only when he or she has put into real practice what has been learned, instead of mere words.

Compassion, forgiveness, these are the real, ultimate sources of power for peace and success in life

‎In today's materialistic world there is a risk of people becoming slaves to money, as though they were simply cogs in a huge money-making machine. This does nothing for human dignity, freedom, and genuine well-being. Wealth should serve humanity, and not the other way around.
