Conversion Is Not My Intention.

Self-discipline, Although Difficult, And Not Always Easy While Combating Negative Emotions, Should Be A Defensive Measure. At Least We Will Be Able To Prevent The Advent Of Negative Conduct Dominated By Negative Emotion. That Is 'shila', Or Moral Ethics. Once We Develop This By Familiarizing Ourselves With It, Along With Mindfulness And Conscientiousness, Eventually That Pattern And Way Of Life Will Become A Part Of Our Own Life.

Genuine Human Friendship Is On The Basis Of Human Affection, Irrespective Of Your Position. Therefore, The More You Show Concern About The Welfare And Rights Of Others, The More You Are A Genuine Friend. The More You Remain Open And Sincere, Then Ultimately More Benefits Will Come To You. If You Forget Or Do Not Bother About Others, Then Eventually You Will Lose Your Own Benefit.

When A Person Is In A Miserable Situation, Then, Yes, It Is Difficult To Develop Genuine Compassion Toward Others. That's Why I Find It Difficult To Say To Poor People, "please Have Compassion Toward Millionaires." That's Not Easy.

In Today's Highly Interdependent World, Individuals And Nations Can No Longer Resolve Many Of Their Problems By Themselves. We Need One Another. It Is Our Collective And Individual Responsibility To Protect And Nurture The Global Family, To Support Its Weaker Members, And To Preserve And Tend To The Environment In Which We All Live.

Whether One Is Rich Or Poor, Educated Or Illiterate, Religious Or Nonbelieving, Man Or Woman, Black, White, Or Brown, We Are All The Same. Physically, Emotionally, And Mentally, We Are All Equal. We All Share Basic Needs For Food, Shelter, Safety, And Love. We All Aspire To Happiness And We All Shun Suffering. Each Of Us Has Hopes, Worries, Fears, And Dreams. Each Of Us Wants The Best For Our Family And Loved Ones. We All Experience Pain When We Suffer Loss And Joy When We Achieve What We Seek. On This Fundamental Level, Religion, Ethnicity, Culture, And Language Make No Difference.
