I call the light and high aspects of my being spirit and the dark and heavy aspects soul.

A mind that is characterized by unrest will not be tranquil even in the presence of great calm.

There is no self-interest completely unrelated to others' interests. Due to the fundamental interconnectedness which lies at the heart of reality, your interest is also my interest. From this it becomes clear that "my" interest and "your" interest are intimately connected. In a deep sense, they converge.

I believe deeply that we must find, all of us together, a new spirituality.

If others are happy, we will be happy. If others suffer, ultimately we all suffer.

Let us try to recognize the precious nature of each day.

The best way of fulfilling your own interest is to take care of others.
