We may be different races and religions but we are all part of the same human family

I find that because of modern technological evolution and our global economy, and as a result of the great increase in population, our world has greatly changed: it has become much smaller. However, our perceptions have not evolved at the same pace; we continue to cling to old national demarcations and the old feelings of 'us' and 'them'.

A calm mind helps our human intelligence to assess the situation realistically.

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

Peace does not come through prayer, we human beings must create peace.

The way to develop inner peace through meditation begins with the recognition that the destroyer of inner peace is not some external foe, but is within us. Therefore, the solution is within us too. However, that inner change does not take place immediately in the way that we switch on a light, but takes weeks, months and years.

The three types of misery are the misery of suffering, the misery of change, and pervasive misery.
