I think technology really increased human ability, but technology cannot produce compassion.

With the realization of ones own potential and self-confidence in ones ability, one can build a better world. According to my own experience, self-confidence is very important. That sort of confidence is not a blind one; it is an awareness of ones own potential. On that basis, human beings can transform themselves by increasing the good qualities and reducing the negative qualities.

The highest happiness is when one reaches the stage of liberation, at which there is no more suffering.

We may be different races and religions but we are all part of the same human family

There are techniques of Buddhism, such as meditation, that anyone can adopt.

I believe compassion to be one of the few things we can practice that will bring immediate and long-term happiness to our lives.

We must realize that it is best to focus on our oneness, to re emphasize what is the same about each of us rather than dwell on what is different.
