Whether We Consider The Individual, Family, Local, National Or International Level, Peace Must Arise From Inner Peace. For Example, Making Prayers For Peace While Continuing To Harbor Anger Is Futile. Training The Mind And Overcoming Your Anger Is Much More Effective Than Mere Prayer. Anger, Hatred And Jealousy Never Solve Problems, Only Affection, Concern And Respect Can Do That.

If There Is Love, There Is Hope That One May Have Real Families, Real Brotherhood, Real Equanimity, Real Peace. If The Love Within Your Mind Is Lost And You See Other Beings As Enemies, Then No Matter How Much Knowledge Or Education Or Material Comfort You Have, Only Suffering And Confusion Will Ensue.

Not So Long Ago People Believed In Ideologies, Systems, And Institutions To Save All Societies. Today, They Have Given Up Such Hopes And Have Returned To Relying On The Individual, On Individual Freedom, Individual Initiative, Individual Creativity.

The Deep Root Of Failure In Our Lives Is To Think, 'oh How Useless And Powerless I Am.' It Is Essential To Think Strongly And Forcefully, 'i Can Do It,' Without Boasting Or Fretting.

To Seek Solitude Like A Wild Animal. That Is My Only Ambition.
