The future will be in the hands of those of you who belong to the 21st century. You have the opportunity and responsibility to build a better humanity. This means developing warm-heartednes s in this very life, here and now. So, do whatever work you do, but ask yourselves now and then, 'How can I contribute to human beings being happier and more peaceful?'

Peace in the world relies on individuals finding inner peace.

We all wish to live a happy life. In addition, we all have the same right to fulfil this goal. And we all have the potential to do so for the simple reason that future is not fixed, it can be changed. Therefore, we should live in hope that we really can overcome whatever problems we face.

We need a little more compassion, and if we cannot have it, then no politician or even a magician can save the planet.

I learn as much from a turtle as from a religious text.

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

Anger, jealousy, impatience, and hatred are the real troublemakers, with them problems cannot be solved.
