But when it comes to democratic political parties, I prefer that monks and nuns not join them - in order to ensure proper democratic practice.

It is not just a person's physical constitution, their intellegence, their education, or even their social conditioning that enables them to withstand hardship. Much more significant is their inner development. And while some may be able to survive through sheer willpower, the ones who suffer the least are those who have a high degree of patience and courage in the face of adversity.

Hatred, jealousy, and fear hinder peace of mind. When you're angry or unforgiving, for example, your mental suffering is constant. It is better to forgive than to spoil your peace of mind with ill feelings.

Human beings are not intrinsically selfish, which isolates us from others. We are essentially social animals who depend on others to meet our needs. We achieve happiness, prosperity and progress through social interaction. Therefore, having a kind and helpful attitude contributes to our own and others' happiness.

By being inattentive to the needs of others, inevitably we end up harming them.

Humanity happy, I get benefit. Humanity in state of trouble, or violence, I cannot escape from that.

Never give up. No matter what is happening, no matter what is going on around you, never give up.
