“We have also lost the sensitivity to listen to our own inner voice. Loss of this sensitivity is largely due to the conditioning of modernity that makes us think about ourselves as something independent and artificial. We have distanced ourselves from our own nature, and when we distance ourselves from our own nature we also distance ourselves from nature surrounding us outside. This distance creates fear and conflict.” (The ills of Modernity) (Spirituality)

“Everyone needs an open mind and an accepting heart. With a combination of these two aspects you will be able to communicate sensibly. Communication will bring understanding and understanding will cause harmonious mutual relationships which can establish peace and stability.” (Spirituality) (Harmony)

“Ultimately the self and others, they are all related things. In this relation we cannot differentiate the self from others and the others from the self. If we look from the philosophical viewpoint, all things are equal and all are interdependent. But this way of understanding the interdependent origination is at the basic perspective, how to refrain from all kinds of violent action.” (Spirituality) (Non-violence)

“The interdependent arising gives you insight into the possibility of eradicating entirely the cause of misery, ignorance; ignorance can be completely eradicated. This is the basic outlook of Buddha’s teaching.” (Spirituality) (Buddhism)
