I request you to try to be warm-hearted. I ask this of you because these mental attitudes actually bring us happiness.
Dalai Lama

From this it becomes clear that my interest and your interest are intimately connected. In a deep sense, they converge.

Every single being, even those who are hostile to us, is just as afraid of suffering as we are, and seeks happiness in the same way we do. Every person has the same right as we do to be happy and not to suffer. So let's take care of others wholeheartedly, of both our friends and our enemies. This is the basis for true compassion.

Without changing one's self, without peace in one's self, world peace is not possible.

We must openly accept all ideologies and systems as a means of solving humanity's problems. One country, one nation, one ideology, one system is not sufficient.
