Notes

Life is both dreadful and wonderful

‘Breathing in I calm my body, breathing out I smile. Dwelling the present moment. I know this is a wonderful moment’

A human being is like a television set with a million channels

Sometimes if we don’t do anything, we help more than if we do a lot

Pleasant or unpleasant depends on our way of looking

Understanding means to throw away your knowledge

The Buddhist way of understanding is always letting go of our views and knowledge in order to transcend

To understand the suffering and the fear of a citizen of another country, we have to become one with him even when doing so is dangerous as we will be suspected by both sides

In the name of ideologies or doctrines, people will kill and are killed

‘If you cling to something as absolute truth and are caught in it, when truth comes in person and knocks on your door, you will refuse to let it in’ - Buddha

‘Let peace begin with me and let me begin with peace’
