H.H., The Dalai Lama

Wars arise from a failure to understand
One another's humanness.
Instead of summit meetings,
Why not have families meet for a picnic
And get to know each other
While the children play together?

H.H.,The Dalai Lama

Never give up.
No matter what is going on,
Never give up.
Develop the heart.
Too much energy in your country is spent
Developing the mind instead of the heart.
Be compassionate not just to your friends,
But to everyone.
Be compassionate.
Work for peace in your heart and in the world.
Work for peace and I say again,
Never give up.
No matter what is happening,
No matter what is going on around you,
Never give up

Bhagavad Gita 3:8-9

Fulfill all your duties; action is better than inaction.
Even to maintain your body, Arjuna,
You are obliged to act.

Selfish action imprisons the world.
Act selflessly, without any thought of personal profit.

Ashtavakra Gita 2:21

I see only one.
Many men, One wilderness.

Then to what may I cling?
