“The Buddha appeared on earth to dispel by the illumination of knowledge the ignorance that had enveloped the human mass, to release the human soul from the prison-cell of desire into the wideness of the silence and peace of Nirvana.”

“Some seekers will do anything for their Self-realisation — except work for it.”

“I feel it is through prayer, meditation, and dedicated service that world peace can take place. Each individual has to try to make others happy, for it is only through happiness that we can have peace.”

“Unless and until you have developed a heart inundated with compassion, do not sit on the seat of judgement.”

“What we need is a life of balance — neither to wallow in the pleasures of wealth nor to lead a life of asceticism, but to embrace a life of simplicity and a heart of purity.”

“If you do not find peace inside your own heart, then you will not find it anywhere else on earth.”
