Gassho,
HeionLook upon the world as a bubble,
regard it as a mirage;
who thus perceives the world,
him Mara, the king of death, does not see.

Some words about peace:
"Peace demands the most heroic labor and the most difficult sacrifice. It demands greater heroism than war. It demands greater fidelity to the truth and a much more perfect purity of conscience."
- Thomas Merton
"I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality... I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word."
- Martin Luther King, Jr.
"While you are proclaiming peace with your lips, be careful to have it even more fully in your heart."
- Francis of Assisi
"Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love."
- Francis of Assisi
Gassho

"Do not be concerned with who is wise and who is stupid. Do not discriminate the sharp from the dull. To practice wholeheartedly is the true endeavor of the way. Practice-realization is not defiled with specialness; it is a matter for every day.”
