I want to say, without hesitation, the purpose of our life is happiness.

There is no need to mention the great difference between the amount of satisfaction there is in just oneself being happy and the amount of satisfaction there is in an infinite number of people being happy.

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

Our purpose in life is to be happy. From the very core of our being, we simply desire contentment.

Any issue, including political, economic and religious activities human beings pursue in this world, should be fully understood before we pass our judgement. Therefore, it is very important to know the causes. Whatever the issue, we should be able to see the complete picture. This will enable us to comprehend the whole story.

A compassionate attitude opens our inner door, and as a result it is much easier to communicate with others. If there is too much self-centered attitude, then fear, doubt and suspicion come and as a result our inner door closes. Then it is very difficult to communicate with others.

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