Peaceful Quotes - Page 31

• If someone offends you, don't tell anyone about it except your elder, and you will be peaceful. Bow to everyone, paying no attention whether they respond to your bow or not. You must humble yourself before everyone and consider yourself the worst of all. If we have not committed the sins that others have, perhaps this is because we did not have the opportunity - the situation and circumstances were different. In each person there is something good and something bad; we usually see only the vices in people and we see nothing that is good.

• I want a world without war. War never works it just kills. I want my children to never have to have a close contact with war. I want my children and future generations to grow up free and in a peaceful world. War is not freedom it is a malignant force imposed by men in power. We must change the views of people in power now and let them know that in a diplomatic and peaceful way issues can be solved.

• When one past thought has ceased and a future thought has not yet risen,
  in that gap, in between, isn't there a consciousness of the present moment;
  fresh, virgin, unaltered by even a hair's breadth of a concept, a luminous, naked awareness?
  Well, that's what naturally peaceful awareness is.
