There is soul music, soul food, and soul love.

The key point is kindness. With kindness one will have inner peace. Through inner peace, world peace can one day be a reality.

As soon as I wake up I pay homage to the Buddha, and I try to prepare my mind to be more altruistic, more compassionate, during the day to come so I can be of benefit to beings. Then I do physical exersice - I walk on a treadmill.

There is often a big disparity between the way in which we perceive things and the way things really are.

Some consider me as a living Buddha. That's nonsense. That's silly. That's wrong. If they consider me a simple Buddhist monk, however, that's probably okay.

I have found that the greatest degree of inner peace comes from cultivating love and compassion.

An affectionate disposition not only makes the mind more peaceful and calm, but it affects our body in a positive way too.
