QUOTES AND POETRY
"Meditation
is not an escape from life... but preparation for really being in life".
(Thich
Nhat Hanh
"Our
goal is to develop human beings with enough inner strength and moral courage to
begin restructuring the collective consciousness of society."
"I
believe that we must consciously develop a greater sense of universal
responsibility. We must learn to work not just for our own individual self,
family or nation, but for the benefit of all mankind. Universal responsibility
is the best foundation for our personal happiness, and for world peace, the
equitable use of our natural resources, and through a concern for future
generations, the proper care of the environment."
For
as long as space endures,
And
for as long as living beings remain,
Until
then may I too, abide
To
dispel the misery of the world.
The Dalai Lama
