Happiness can be achieved through training the mind.

Within the framework of the Buddhist Path, reflecting on suffering has tremendous importance because -realizing the nature of suffering, you will develop greater resolve to put an end to the causes of suffering and the unwholesome deeds which lead to suffering. And it will increase your enthusiasm for engaging in the wholesome actions and deeds which lead to happiness and joy.

Other human beings have a right to peace and happiness that is equal to our own; therefore we have a responsibility to help those in need.

A lot of problems we are facing, essentially, man made problem. Own creation. Not due to lack of intelligence.

The purpose of our life needs to be positive. We weren't born with the purpose of causing trouble, harming others. For our life to be of value, I think we must develop basic good human qualities - warmth, kindness, compassion. Then our life becomes meaningful and more peaceful - happier.

Although attempting to bring about world peace through the internal transformation of individuals is difficult, it is the only way.

We are working as hard as we can; we are preparing ourselves as carefully as we can; we fully intend to make our contribution to the world in the coming century.
