I do not see any reason why animals should be slaughtered to serve as human diet when there are so many substitutes. After all, man can live without meat.

In today's highly interdependent world, individuals and nations can no longer resolve many of their problems by themselves. We need one another. It is our collective and individual responsibility to protect and nurture the global family, to support its weaker members, and to preserve and tend to the environment in which we all live.

We must live harmoniously with our neighbors.

We need material development, but we need to understand that by itself it doesn't bring peace of mind.

It is our collective and individual responsibility to preserve and tend to the environment in which we all live.

Happiness cannot come from hatred or anger. Nobody can say, 'Today I am happy because this morning I was angry.' On the contrary, people feel uneasy and sad and say, 'Today I am not very happy, because I lost my temper this morning.'

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