Because we all share this planet earth, we have to learn to live in harmony and peace with each other and with nature. This is not just a dream, but a necessity.
If in our daily life we can smile, if we can be peaceful and happy, not only we, but everyone will profit from it. This is the most basic kind of peace work.
Quiet the mind, and the soul will speak.
When we are motivated by compassion and wisdom, the results of our actions benefit everyone, not just our individual selves or some immediate convenience. When we are able to recognize and forgive ignorant actions of the past, we gain strength to constructively solve the problems of the present.
Peace is present right here and now, in ourselves and in everything we do and see. Every breath we take, every step we take, can be filled with peace, joy, and serenity. The question is whether or not we are in touch with it. We need only to be awake, alive in the present moment.
If we do an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, we will be a blind and toothless nation.
I find hope in the darkest of days, and focus in the brightest. I do not judge the universe.
The true hero is one who conquers his own anger and hatred.
Breathing in, there is only the present moment. Breathing out, it is a wonderful moment.
Each moment is a chance for us to make peace with the world, to make peace possible for the world, to make happiness possible for the world.
Do not let the behavior of others destroy your inner peace.
I am determined to practice deep listening. I am determined to practice loving speech.
Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let the pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place.
Do your work, then step back. The only path to serenity.
When there is no desire, all things are at peace.
Don’t expect to build up the weak by pulling down the strong.
Let it be.
Breath is the bridge which connects life to consciousness, which unites your body to your thoughts. Whenever your mind becomes scattered, use your breath as the means to take hold of your mind again.
The greatest need of our time is to clean out the enormous mass of mental and emotional rubbish that clutters our minds
Peace is the greatest weapon for development that any person can have.
