Like a lamp, dispelling the darkness of ignorance

I am open to the guidance of synchronicity, and do not let expectations hinder my path.

Whether you believe in God or not does not matter much, whether you believe in Buddha or not does not matter so much; as a Buddhist, whether you believe in reincarnation or not does not matter so much. You must lead a good life.

There can be no peace as long as there is grinding poverty, social injustice, inequality, oppression, environmental degradation, and as long as the weak and small continue to be trodden by the mighty and powerful.

People need to climb the mountain not simple because it is there But because the soulful divinity needs to be mated with the spirit.

Our world and our lives have become increasingly interdependent, so when our neighbour is harmed, it affects us too. Therefore we have to abandon outdated notions of 'them' and 'us' and think of our world much more in terms of a great 'US', a greater human family.

If a person's basic state of mind is serene and calm, then it is possible for this inner peace to overwhelm a painful physical experience.
