On peace and happiness...

To obtain real peace and happiness in this world
 one has simply to follow the path of ahimsa 
– nonviolence – which naturally is common 
to all the religions of the world. 
If we do not like to experience any pain 
or suffering of any kind, how can we expect 
any other creature – whether big or small -
to feel otherwise? 
There is no better prayer or worship 
we can offer to Lord Buddha than being thoughtful, 
kind, compassionate and abstaining from taking the life 
of any fellow human being, animal, bird, fish or insect.
