We Share The Earth Not Only With

The Creatures That Inhabit This Earth-be They Human Beings Or Animals-are Here To Contribute, Each In Its Own Particular Way, To The Beauty And Prosperity Of The World.

Our World And Our Lives Have Become Increasingly Interdependent, So When Our Neighbour Is Harmed, It Affects Us Too. Therefore We Have To Abandon Outdated Notions Of 'them' And 'us' And Think Of Our World Much More In Terms Of A Great 'us', A Greater Human Family.

Let Us Cultivate Love And Compassion, Both Of Which Give Life True Meaning. This Is The Religion I Preach. It Is Simple. Its Temple Is The Heart. Its Teaching Is Love And Compassion. Its Moral Values Are Loving And Respecting Others, Whoever They May Be. Whether One Is A Lay Person Or A Monastic, We Have No Other Option If We Wish To Survive In This World.

Love And Kindness Are The Very Basis Of Society. If We Lose These Feelings, Society Will Face Tremendous Difficulties; The Survival Of Humanity Will Be Endangered.

We Must Generate Courage Equal To The Size Of The Difficulties We Face.
