Even secular humanism has great spiritual resources; it is almost like a religion to me.

When we have inner peace, we can be at peace with those around us. When our community is in a state of peace, it can share that peace with neighboring communities.

Basically, therefore, we should approach others openly, recognizing each person as another human being just like ourselves. There is not much difference between us all.

You are so anxious about the future that you do not enjoy the present. You therefore do not live in the present or the future. You live as if you are never going to die, and then die having never really lived.

My message is always the same: to cultivate and practice love, kindness, compassion and tolerance.

In the final analysis, the hope of every person is simply peace of mind.

If you shift your focus from oneself to others, and think more about others' well-being and welfare, it has an immediate liberating effect.
