Life does not wait: Whether we spend our lives meaningfully or not, the time will be used up moment by moment.

Because of the great differences in our ways of thinking, it is inevitable that we have different religions and faiths. Each has its own beauty. And it is much better that we live together on the basis of mutual respect and mutual admiration.

Anger, hatred and jealousy never solve problems, only affection, concern and respect can do that.

Basically, from the viewpoint of real human value we are all the same.

There is competition, but it is used in a good way. It is positive to want to go first, provided the intention is to pave the way for others, make their path more easy, help them, or show the way. Competition is negative when we wish to defeat others, to bring them down in order to lift ourselves up.

Inner darkness, which we call ignorance, is the root of suffering. The more inner light that comes, the more darkness will diminish. This is the only way to achieve salvation or nirvana.

As far as mental development is concerned, we should never be complacent. We can develop our minds infinitely - there is no limitation.
