It is important to pray for peace. . . But you must also take actions to make that happen. Every single day.

Give the ones you love wings to fly, roots to come back and reasons to stay.

Try to improve. Don't expect too much, but don't feel discouraged either; keep up your enthusiasm; you will make progress.

This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.

With realization of one's own potential and self-confidence in one's ability, one can build a better world.

Like the lotus which thrives in mud, the potential for realization grows in the rich soil of everyday life

Developing concern for others, thinking of them as part of us, brings self-confidence , reduces our sense of suspicion and mistrust, and enables us to develop a calm mind.
