tolerance important virtue
Tolerance is an important virtue of bodhisattvas .
thinking suffering important
One great question underlies our experience, whether we think about it or not: what is the purpose of life? From the moment of birth every human being wants happiness and does not want suffering. Neither social conditioning nor education nor ideology affects this. >From the very core of our being, we simply desire contentment. Therefore, it is important to discover what will bring about the greatest degree of happiness.
inspiration important trying
Basically we are all the same human beings with the same potential to be a good human being or a bad human being. The important thing is to realize the positive side and try to increase that; realize the negative side and try to reduce. That's the way.
important messages harmony
Wherever I go meeting the public... spreading a message of human values, spreading a message of harmony, is the most important thing.
attitude peaceful important
I feel that we should not only maintain gentle, peaceful relations with our fellow human beings bur also that is very important to extend the same kind of attitude toward the natural environment.
commitment responsibility important
The most important thing is to have a sense of responsibility, commitment, and concern for each of our fellow human beings.
individuality important human-life
Individuality is very important for a full human life...
attitude important behaviour
I feel that a genuine, affectionate smile is very important in our day-to-day lives. How one creates that smile largely depends on one's own attitude. It is illogical to expect smiles from others if one does not smile oneself. Therefore, one can see that many things depend on one's own behaviour.
thinking people important
When we are young and again when we are old, we depend heavily on the affection of others. Between these stages we usually feel that we can do everything without help from others and that other people's affection is simply not important. But at this stage I think it is very important to keep deep human affection.
exercise important may
It is important to direct our intelligence with good intentions. Without intelligence, we cannot accomplish very much. Without good intentions, the way we exercise of our intelligence may have destructive results.
creative important realizing
We have a natural creative ability and it is very important to realize this.
important action praying
It is important to pray for peace. . . But you must also take actions to make that happen. Every single day.
hatred mind important
Affection is important because it counters anger, hatred and suspicion that can prevent our minds from functioning clearly.
mind important ordinary
From the viewpoint of absolute truth, what we feel and experience in our ordinary daily life is all delusion. Of all the various delusions, the sense of discrimination between oneself and others is the worst form, as it creates nothing but unpleasantness for both sides. If we can realize and meditate on ultimate truth, it will cleanse our impurities of mind and thus eradicate the sense of discrimination. This will help to create true love for one another. The search for ultimate truth is, therefore, vitally important.
