A disciplined mind leads to happiness, and an undisciplined mind leads to suffering.

If you become more concerned for the welfare of others, you will experience a sense of calm, inner-strength, and self confidence.

Instead of harboring fear and suspicion we need to think of other people not as ‘them’ but ‘us’.

Learning to forgive is much more useful than merely picking up a stone and throwing it at the object of one's anger, the more so when the provocation is extreme. For it is under the greatest adversity that there exists the greatest potential for doing good, both for oneself and others.

We need to strengthen such inner values as contentment, patience and tolerance, as well as compassion for others. Keeping in mind that it is expressions of affection rather than money and power that attract real friends, compassion is the key to ensuring our own well-being.

From that viewpoint, America, free country, democratic country, so more opportunity. Still is more sort of Alive. This is my feeling.

I do not want to carry any public position.
