My own share making contribution [to the the well-being of humanity]. So I never feel I am something special.

Children are our greatest untapped resource.

What we do and think in our own lives, then, becomes of extreme importance as it effects everything we're connected to.

Consider that not only do negative thoughts and emotions destroy our experience of peace, they also undermine our health.

Nowadays, we are confronted by a huge gap between rich and poor. This is not only morally wrong, but practically a mistake. It leads to the rich living in anxiety and the poor living in frustration, which has the potential to lead to more violence. We have to work to reduce this gap. It's truly unfair that some people should have so much while others go hungry.

Through difficult experiences, life sometimes becomes more meaningful.

My message is always the same: to cultivate and practice love, kindness, compassion and tolerance.
