Without inner peace, outer peace is impossible. We all wish for world peace, but world peace will never be acheived unless we first establish peace within our own minds. We can send so-called 'peacekeeping forces' into areas of conflict, but peace cannot be oppossed from the outside with guns. Only by creating peace within our own mind and helping others to do the same can we hope to achieve peace in this world.

When we learn to accept difficult circumstances patiently, the real problem disappears.

Only by creating peace within our own mind and helping others to do the same can we hope to achieve peace in this world.

Happiness is a state of mind, so the real source of happiness must lie within the mind, not in external conditions.

Whenever we see anyone in a high or low position, male or female, they differ only in appearance, dress, behavior, and status. In essence they are all equal--they all experience problems in their lives.

Whenever anyone, Buddhist or not, sees a Temple or an image of Buddha they receive blessings.

Practicing Dharma is the supreme method for improving the quality of our human life.
