Every human should have the idea of taking care of the environment, of nature, of water. So using too much or wasting water should have some kind of feeling or sense of concern. Some sort of responsibility and with that, a sense of discipline.

I am convinced that everyone can develop a good heart and a sense of universal responsibility with or without religion.

When we encounter suffering, it is important to respond w/ compassion rather than to question the politics of those we help.

What is the purpose of life? I believe that the purpose of life is to be happy.

In our own case, we don't consider the loss of a monastery or a monument the end of our entire way of life. If one monastery is destroyed, sometimes it happens.

Basically, a human being is a social animal. So, if you create some short moment of happiness for people, you get deep satisfaction.

Our greatest duty and our main responsibility is to help others. But please, if you can't help them, would you please not hurt them.
