If we adopt a self-centered approach to life, by which we attempt to use others for our own self interest, we might be able to gain temporary benefits, but in the long run we will not succeed in achieving even our personal happiness, and hope for the next life is out of the question.

A lot of problems we are facing, essentially, man made problem. Own creation. Not due to lack of intelligence.

At a fundamental level, as human beings, we are all the same; each one of us aspires to happiness and each one of us does not wish to suffer. This is why, whenever I have the opportunity, I try to draw people's attention to what as members of the human family we have in common and the deeply interconnected nature of our existence and welfare.

With genuine love and compassion, another person's appearance or behavior has no affect on your attitude.

Universal responsibility is the key to human survival. It is the best foundation for world peace.

Anger, jealousy, impatience, and hatred are the real troublemakers, with them problems cannot be solved.

The fact that there is always a positive side to life is the one thing that gives me a lot of happiness.
