Our capacity to make peace with another person and with the world depends very much on our capacity to make peace with ourselves.
Nhat HanhIf you suffer and make your loved ones suffer, there is nothing that can justify your desire.
Nhat HanhScientists tell us that we have enough technology to save our planet. . . . Yet we don't take advantage of this new technology. . . . The technological has to work hand-in-hand with the spiritual. Our spiritual life is the element that can bring about the energies of peace, calm, brotherhood, understanding, and compassion. Without that, our planet doesn't stand a chance.
