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.

While People Are Often Content To Criticize And Blame Others For What Goes Wrong, Surely We Should At Least Attempt To Put Forward Constructive Ideas. One Thing Is For Certain: Given Human Beings' Love Of Truth, Justice, Peace, And Freedom, Creating A Better, More Compassionate World Is A Genuine Possibility. The Potential Is There.

In Buddhism, Both Learning And Practice Are Extremely Important, And They Must Go Hand In Hand. Without Knowledge, Just To Rely On Faith, Faith, And More Faith Is Good But Not Sufficient. So The Intellectual Part Must Definitely Be Present. At The Same Time, Strictly Intellectual Development Without Faith And Practice, Is Also Of No Use. It Is Necessary To Combine Knowledge Born From Study With Sincere Practice In Our Daily Lives. These Two Must Go Together.

I Feel Many Problems That We Are Facing, Are Man-made Problems, We Have Too Much Emphasis On This Secondary Thing, Forgetting Our Foundation. At Foundation, We Are The Same Human Being And We Are Sharing The Same Planet.

It Is Natural That We Face Obstacles In Pursuit Of Our Goals. But If We Remain Passive, Making No Effort To Solve The Problems We Meet, Conflicts Will Arise And Hindrances Will Grow. Transforming These Obstacles Into Opportunities Is A Challenge To Our Human Ingenuity.
