True friendship develops not as a result of money or power but on the basis of genuine human affection.

Never give up. No matter what is happening, no matter what is going on around you, never give up.

Sleep is the best meditation.

Your own pain is involuntary; you feel overwhelmed and have no control. When feeling the pain of others, there is an element of discomfort, but there also is a level of stability because you are voluntarily accepting pain. It gives you a sense of confidence.

The very purpose of religion is to control yourself, not to criticise others.

I feel that compassionate thought is the most precious thing there is. It is something that only we human beings can develop. And if we have a good heart, a warm heart, warm feelings, we will be happy and satisfied ourselves, and our friends will experience a friendly and peaceful atmosphere as well. This can be experienced community to community, country to country, continent to continent.
