My Brain and My Heart are my Temples. My true Religion is Kindness.

I feel many problems that we are facing, are man-made problems, we have too much emphasis on this secondary thing, forgetting our foundation. At foundation, we are the same human being and we are sharing the same planet. Six billion human beings' future is my future and my future is never separate from the future of six billion human beings.

A good friend who points out mistakes and imperfections and rebukes evil is to be respected as if he reveals the secret of some hidden treasure.

When a problem first arises, try to remain humble and maintain a sincere attitude, and be concerned that the outcome is fair.

Compassion is concern of others' well being.

I describe myself as a simple Buddhist monk. No more, no less.

Peace in the world depends on peace in the hearts of individuals; this depends on each of us practising ethics by disciplining our negative thoughts and emotions, and developing basic spiritual qualities.
