Everything You Do Has Some Effect, Some

Everything Is Interconnected. My Interest Is Linked To Everyone Else's. Our Survival And Future Are Linked. Therefore The Destruction Of Your So-called Enemy Is Actually The Destruction Of Your Self.

Lack Of Understanding Of The True Nature Of Happiness, It Seems To Me, Is The Principal Reason Why People Inflict Sufferings On Others. They Think Either That The Other's Pain May Somehow Be A Cause Of Happiness For Themselves Or That Their Own Happiness Is More Important, Regardless Of What Pain It May Cause. But This Is Shortsighted. No One Truly Benefits From Causing Harm To Another Sentient Being. . . . . In The Long Run Causing Others Misery And Infringing Their Rights To Peace And Happiness Result In Anxiety, Fear, And Suspicion Within Oneself.

Unless We Possess High Spiritual Qualifications, There Is No Doubt That The Events Life Throws Upon Us Will Give Rise To Frustration, Emotional Turmoil, And Other Distorted States Of Consciousness. These Imperfect States Of Mind In Turn Give Rise To Imperfect Activities, And The Seeds Of Suffering Are Ever Planted In A Steady Flow.

Samsara - Our Conditioned Existence In The Perpetual Cycle Of Habitual Tendencies And Nirvana - Genuine Freedom From Such An Existence- Are Nothing But Different Manifestations Of A Basic Continuum. So This Continuity Of Consciousness Us Always Present. This Is The Meaning Of Tantra.

I Believe That The Time Has Come For Women To Take More Active Roles In All Domains Of Human Society, In An Age In Which Education And The Capacities Of The Mind, Not Physical Strength, Define Leadership. This Could Help Create A More Equitable And Compassionate Society.
