Peace is not just the mere absence of violence or disturbance. It's when there is a possibility of conflict, but you deliberately avoid violence and adopt methods to solve the problem through peaceful means. That is real peace.

Use your human intelligence in the best way you can; transform your emotions in a positive way.

If you can cultivate the right attitude, your enemies are your best spiritual teachers because their presence provides you with the opportunity to enhance and develop tolerance, patience and understanding.

I have found a much greater appreciation of Buddhism because I couldn't take it for granted here in exile.

As our own peace of mind grows, so the atmosphere around us becomes more peaceful.

Silence is sometimes the best answer

Your motivation should be sincere and your life should be of benefit to some people. That is the main thing. Don't care after my death.
