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.
people mind wish
A mind wishing to benefit other people and other sentient beings is the very basis of peace and happiness.
believe stressed achieving-happiness
I believe the ultimate aim of all human beings is to obtain happiness and a sense of fulfillment... I have always stressed the importance of combining both the mental and material approach to achieving happiness for humankind.
war blood century
The 20th century was the century of war and blood. The 21st century is the century of dialogue.
love-is
Love is wanting others to be happy.
meaningful spiritual attitude
For the rest of your life to be as meaningful as possible, engage in spiritual practice if you can. It is nothing more than acting out of concern for others. If you practice sincerely and with persistence, little by little, step by step you will gradually reorder your habits and attitudes so as to think less about your own narrow concerns and more about others' - and thereby find peace and happiness yourself.
