With realization of one's own potential and self-confidence in one's ability, one can build a better world.

To be kind, honest and have positive thoughts; to forgive those who harm us and treat everyone as a friend; to help those who are suffering and never to consider ourselves superior to anyone else: even if this advice seems rather simplistic, make the effort of seeing whether by following it you can find greater happiness.

I believe all suffering is caused by ignorance. People inflict pain on others in the selfish pursuit of their happiness or satisfaction. Yet true happiness comes from a sense of inner peace and contentment, which in turn must be achieved through the cultivation of altruism, of love and compassion and elimination of ignorance, selfishness and greed.

All religion teaches the virtues of love, altruism and patience, while showing us how to discipline and transform ourselves to achieve inner peace and a kind heart. Therefore, they are worthy of our respect.

Compassion should be unbiased and based on the recognition that others have the right to happiness, just like you.

We need to understand how destructive emotions affect us and constructive emotions can help us, so that we can maintain our peace of mind.

Ignorance is the source of hatred, and the way to get rid of ignorance is realization.
