I have found that the greatest degree of inner peace comes from cultivating love and compassion.

Through money or power you cannot solve all problems. The problem in the human heart must be solved first.

We need cooperation based on trust and self-confidence to create an open, compassionate, harmonious society.

Our enemies are our greatest teachers.

Since periods of great change, such as the present one, come so rarely in human history, it is up to each of us to make the best use of our time to help create a happier world.

As long as we observe love for others and respect for their rights and dignity in our daily lives, then whether we are learned or unlearned, whether we believe in the Buddha or God, follow some religion or none at all, as long as we have compassion for others and conduct ourselves with restraint out of a sense of responsibility, there is no doubt we will be happy.

For a better, happier, more stable and civilized future, each of us must develop a sincere, warm-hearted feeling of brotherhood and sisterhood.
