Compassion, forgiveness, these are the real, ultimate sources of power for peace and success in life

What is the meaning of life? To be happy and useful.

Real change in society must start from individual initiative.

The question is not to know what is the meaning of life, but what meaning I can give to my life.

Each one of us is responsible for the whole of humankind. We need to think of each other really as brothers and sisters and to be concerned for each other’s welfare. Rather than working solely to acquire wealth, we need to do something meaningful, something directed seriously towards the welfare of humanity as a whole.

Every human action, whether it has become positive or negative, must depend on motivation.

The very purpose of religion is to control yourself, not to criticize others. Rather, we must criticize ourselves. How much am I doing about my anger? About my attachment, about my hatred, about my pride, my jealousy? These are the things which we must check in daily life.
