How do you want to create peace, if there is no peace inside yourselves?

The secret to happiness is happiness itself. Wherever we are, any time, we have the capacity to enjoy the sunshine, the presence of each other, the wonder of our breathing. We don't have to travel anywhere else to do so. We can be in touch with these things right now.

Harm no person, animal, plant or mineral.

As long as we think our lives are not good enough (materially), we will not have happiness. As soon as we realize our lives are good enough, happiness immediately appears. That is the practice of contentment.

If we have fear and despair in us, we cannot remove the suffering in society.

If you suffer and make your loved ones suffer, there is nothing that can justify your desire.

The present moment is the only moment available to us and it is the door to all other moments.
