To create a peaceful world, first thing is you have to make yourself a peaceful person. You have to become a person who doesn’t create problem for others and problem for yourself.
In an interview by Peace Pledge Project in Greenland, His Holiness addressed questions such as “how to create a more peaceful world,” “how to develop compassion,” etc in depth and packed with wisdom and practicality.
Listen to how His Holiness explained compassion by breaking into three parts – compassion, love and kindness. When asked about his advice to the next generation, His Holiness advised if we take good care of ourselves, we know how to inspire our next generation to be good because we will be the role model for them.
His Holiness shared that a simple good daily routine can make us very focused and efficient with lots of energy. Then three qualities – sincerity, honesty and ability are equally important for us to have. That is his personal tip how he can continuously create peace within himself in line with dharma and purpose.
If we take good care of ourselves, we know how to inspire our next generation to be good because we will be the role model for them.
