The practice of love can be expressed in one sentence: 'Do not harm others.'

It is not enough to be compassionate, we must act.

Basically, a human being is a social animal. So, if you create some short moment of happiness for people, you get deep satisfaction.

I want to show that there are indeed some universal ethical principles which could help everyone to achieve the happiness we all aspire to.

When we meet real tragedy in life, we can react in two ways - either by losing hope and falling into self-destructive habits, or by using the challenge to find our inner strength.

Wherever I go meeting the public... spreading a message of human values, spreading a message of harmony, is the most important thing.

We humans have existed in our present form for about a hundred thousand years. I believe that if during this time the human mind had been primarily controlled by anger and hatred, our overall population would have decreased. But today, despite all our wars, we find that the human population is greater than ever. This clearly indicates to me that love and compassion predominate in the world. And this is why unpleasant events are "news"; compassionate activities are so much a part of daily life that they are taken for granted and , therefore, largely ignored.
