Quote

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.

In today's highly interdependent world, individuals and nations can no longer resolve many of their problems by themselves. We need one another. It is our collective and individual responsibility to protect and nurture the global family, to support its weaker members, and to preserve and tend to the environment in which we all live.

The source of peace is within us so also the source of war. And the real enemy is within us, and not outside. The source of war is not the existence of nuclear weapons or other arms. It is the minds of human beings who decide to push the button and to use those arms out of hatred, anger or greed.
Dalai Lama

A human being isn't meant to be some kind of machine designed only for production. No. Human life isn't just for work.
Dalai Lama

For change to happen in any community, the initiative must come from the individual.
