If we wish to bring peace to the world, we must start
by changing our evil ways. World peace stems from inner peace.
We must cleanse ourselves of greed, hatred, and
ignorance. These three poisons are the roots behind all our sufferings.
True love is undiscriminating, unattached, and
unconditional, we should share this love with all beings. This is call compassion.
We must learn to "let go" and not be too stubborn
with our viewpoints. If this goal can be achieved, then we will be at great ease and live a
happy and fulfilling life.
Everybody is somebody we can learn from. When we see
the virtues of others, we should adopt them as our own. When we see the wrongs of others,
we should reflect upon ourselves for the same faults.
Love can turn into hate. You may dislike something you
adored yesterday. We should see things with eyes of equality and not let emotions control
our life.
Wise people do not harbour feelings of gain or loss.
In this way, they often dwell in the joy of possessing peace of mind.
When we encounter a person or a situation we do not
like, it is the perfect opportunity for us to practice patience and cultivate a pure and
compassionate heart.
If we learn to forgive, we will dwell in peace of mind.
We should show our gratitude to those who have shown us
kindness, such as parents, teachers, and even the society. Everyone in the society is
interdependent and inter-related, we should practice good deeds to repay them.
