Real Power Has To Do

If Someone Remains In A Peaceful And Tranquil State Of Mind, External Surroundings Can Cause Them Only A Limited Disturbance.

Whether We Consider The Individual, Family, Local, National Or International Level, Peace Must Arise From Inner Peace. For Example, Making Prayers For Peace While Continuing To Harbor Anger Is Futile. Training The Mind And Overcoming Your Anger Is Much More Effective Than Mere Prayer. Anger, Hatred And Jealousy Never Solve Problems, Only Affection, Concern And Respect Can Do That.

The Foundation Of The Buddha's Teachings Lies In Compassion, And The Reason For Practicing The Teachings Is To Wipe Out The Persistence Of Ego, The Number-one Enemy Of Compassion.

Buddha Himself Taught Different Teachings To Different People Under Different Circumstances. For Some People, There Are Beliefs Based On A Creator. For Others, No Creator. The Only "definitive Truth" For Buddhism Is The Absolute Negation Of Any One Truth As The Definitive Truth.

We Are All Here On This Planet, As It Were, As Tourists. None Of Us Can Live Here Forever. The Longest We Might Live Is A Hundred Years. So While We Are Here We Should Try To Have A Good Heart And To Make Something Positive And Useful Of Our Lives. Whether We Live Just A Few Years Or A Whole Century, It Would Be Truly Regrettable And Sad If We Were To Spend That Time Aggravating The Problems That Afflict Other People, Animals, And The Environment. The Most Important Things Is To Be A Good Human Being.
