Be a good human being, a warm hearted, affectionate person. That is my fundamental belief.

A belief in a policy of kindness, and a sense of commonality among all living creatures.

Brute force, no matter how strongly applied, can never subdue the basic human desire for freedom.

When we have inner peace, we can be at peace with those around us.

Like and dislike, gain and loss, praise and blame, fame and disgrace: these are the eight mundane concerns which condition our existence.

No matter how much violence or how many bad things we have to go through, I believe that the ultimate solution to our conflicts, both internal and external, lies in returning to our basic or underlying human nature, which is gentle and compassionate.

The root of lust and hatred is ignorance of the true nature of all living beings as well as ignorance of the nature of inanimate things.
