Education is the way to achieve far-reaching results, it is the proper way to promote compassion and tolerance in society.

I am not promoting Buddhism. I am promoting human values.

We have to adopt a wider perspective, and always find common things between the people of north, east, south, and west. Conflict comes from the basis of differencs.

If there is love, there is hope that one may have real families, real brotherhood, real equanimity, real peace. If the love within your mind is lost and you see other beings as enemies, then no matter how much knowledge or education or material comfort you have, only suffering and confusion will ensue.

Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive.""Laughter is good for thinking because when people laugh, it is easier for them to admit new ideas to their minds.

By developing a sense of concern for others' well-being, then no matter what others' attitudes are, you can keep inner peace.

The challenge today is to convince people of the value of truth, honesty, compassion and a concern for others.
