We have always been a nation different from the Chinese. Long ago we fought wars with them.

The root of happiness is altruism - the wish to be of service to others.

I am convinced that everyone can develop a good heart and a sense of universal responsibility with or without religion.

Climate change has been immense difficulties of pains or illness or hard life on this planet. So through that way, you have sense of concern of the well being, not sky, not just the environment itself.

I am not promoting Buddhism. I am promoting human values.
