The need for love lies at the very foundation of human existence.

I always tell my Western friends that it is best to keep your own tradition. Changing religion is not easy and sometimes causes confusion. You must value your tradition and honor your own religion.

Perhaps our teachings seem less religious and more technical, like psychology, so they are easier for secular people to use.

If you young people who today belong to the first generation of the 21st century make an effort now, you may be able to create a happier, more peaceful world. But you can't take for granted that it will happen by itself, you'll need to take action.

I believe that whether a person follows any religion or not is unimportant, he or she must have a good heart, a warm heart.

Meet hostility and suspicion with kindness. Helping others out of love is always the best option.

To me there is no difference whether president, beggar, or king.
