Non-violence is the essence of the entire Buddha's teaching, and the practice of non-violence is the entire essence of the practice of Buddha dharma, Buddhist spirituality, in one's life.

In the Buddhist learning process, we say three stages. The first is hearing, the second is contemplation, and the third is meditation.

To learn means by practice, by inquiring, by analyzing to find out what is, not what was.

Lack of understanding of interrelatedness has caused numerous divisions and conflicts that are the cause of many major challenges in the world such as war, violence, terrorism, economic disparity, and exploitation.

We shall have to practise to lead our life on the basis of our needs, not under the influence of our greed.

Faith and reason overpower each other throughout one's life, which results in contradiction, but the conflict never ceases in any sphere.
