Today different ethnic groups and different nations come together due to common sense.

I am confident that the next century will be better than this one.

Differences in religious beliefs, politics, social status, and position are all secondary. When we look at someone with compassion, we are able to see beyond these secondary differences and connect to the primary essence that binds all humans together as one.

Our planet is blessed with vast natural treasures. If we use them wisely, beginning with the elimination of militarism and war, every human being will be able to live a healthy, prosperous existence.

For those who may not find happiness to exercise religious faith, it's okay to remain a radical atheist; it's absolutely an individual right, but the important thing is with a compassionate heart - then no problem.

A positive state of mind is not merely good for you, it benefits everyone with whom you come into contact, literally changing the world.

Cultivating a close, warmhearted feeling for others automatically puts the mind at ease.
