mother earth environment
The earth is not just our environment. The earth is our mother.
kindness mind peace-of-mind
Only through kindness and love can peace of mind be achieved.
concern-for-others concern
We consider that the lives of all beings are just as precious as our own, and through this we develop a sense of concern for others.
lying heart responsibility
Whether it is under the guise of survival and self-defence or directly expressed through dominion and greed, the failure to recognize the common humanity shared by us all lies at the heart of our difficulties. To overcome it, we should begin to develop, from the level of the individual through that of society to the world at large, what I call a sense of universal responsibility; a deep respect for every living being who lives on this one small planet and calls it home.
love-is world-religions essentials
Forming a new world religion is difficult and not particularly desirable. However, in that love is essential to all religions, one could speak of the universal religion of love.
real pride enemy
Anger, pride and competence are our real enemies.
meaningful kindness thinking
The purpose of our life needs to be positive. We weren't born with the purpose of causing trouble, harming others. For our life to be of value, I think we must develop basic good human qualities - warmth, kindness, compassion. Then our life becomes meaningful and more peaceful - happier.
compassion keys levels
On every level of human life, compassion is the key thing.
determination real dark
Most REAL change is slow. Happiness and joy are the purpose of life. If we know that the future will be very dark or painful, then we lose our determination to live. Therefore, life is something based on hope.
enemy comeback destroyed
Unlike an external enemy, the inner enemy cannot regroup and launch a comeback once it has been destroyed from within.
art training mind
The training of the mind is an art. If this can be considered art, one's life is art.
suffering desire overcoming
Just as you have the instinctive natural desire to be happy and overcome suffering, so do all sentient beings; just as you have the right to fulfill this innate aspiration, so do all sentient beings. So on what exact grounds do you discriminate?
religious people add
If you have religious faith, very good, you can add on secular ethics, then religious belief, add on it, very good. But even those people who have no interest about religion, okay, it's not religion, but you can train through education.
mean levels matter
Religion, any religion, no matter what sort of wonderful religion, never be universal. So now education is universal, so we have to sort of find ways and means through education system, from kindergarten up to university level, to make awareness these good things, the values, inner values.
