Basically we are all the same human beings with the same potential to be a good human being or a bad human being. The important thing is to realize the positive side and try to increase that; realize the negative side and try to reduce. That's the way.

If we have no inner peace, we deceive ourselves into thinking that comfort and prosperity will bring happiness.

Look at situations from all angles, and you will become more open.

I could justify violence only in this extreme case, to save the last living knowledge of Buddhism itself.

If we human beings rely only on material development, we can’t be sure of a positive outcome. Employing technology motivated by anger and hatred is likely to be destructive. It will only be beneficial if we seek the welfare of all beings. Human beings are the only species with the potential to destroy the world. Because of the risks of unrestrained desire and greed we need to cultivate contentment and simplicity.

When you think everything is someone else's fault, you will suffer a lot.

If there's good, strong evidence from science that such and such is the case and this is contrary to Buddhism, then we will change.
