Despite all philosophical differences, all major world religions have the same potential to create good human beings.

When we have inner peace, we can be at peace with those around us. When our community is in a state of peace, it can share that peace with neighboring communities.

In disagreements with loved ones, deal only with the current situation. Don't bring up the past.

There is nothing that does not get easier through cultivation. The buddhas of the past started out as ordinary beings. They were not buddhas in the beginning. The path to buddhahood is traversed only through gradually developing more and more courage and DETERMINATION -then it is attained.

My earnest request is that you practice love and kindness whether you believe in a religion or not

The various features and aspects of human life, such as longevity, good health, success, happiness, and so forth, which we consider desirable, are all dependent on kindness and a good heart.

I want to show that there are indeed some universal ethical principles which could help everyone to achieve the happiness we all aspire to.
