Enlightened Society is all about nurturing the human spirit - waking up to the goodness, kindness and strength that we already have.

In a speedy and aggressive culture, we need different principles to live by-bravery and insight. The first moment of bravery is building trust in the mind, which we do in meditation. When we know how to create peace in our own mind, we can transform the world.

What is my great wish and intention, is to make a base of compassion and to encourage people to work to shift the energy.

I hope you will attain enlightenment. I am here to tell you that you already have! But you don't know... The difference between the Buddha and us is the confidence in knowing that he was enlightened.

I think we are very environmental people. We need to be supported environmentally. Books very much have that imprint on the mind.

The most important thing is having the right mind - a mind that can see it. Once you have an open mind, you see a lot of auspicious coincidence taking place.

Our power comes not from suppressing others but from uplifting them.
