it is a virtue; a state of mind;

a disposition for benevolence; confidence; and justice.

if we can be peaceful and happy, 

not only we, 

but everyone will profit from it. 

This is the most basic kind of peace work.

be careful to have it even more fully in your heart.

This is the sum of all righteousness.

In causing pleasure or in giving pain, 

in doing good or injury to others,

a man obtains a proper rule of action 

by looking at his neighbor as himself.

 

Quote from the Mahabharata

*

When things are investigated, then true knowledge is achieved;

 When true knowledge is achieved, the will becomes sincere

When the will becomes sincere, then the heart is set right; 

When the heart is set right, then the personal life is cultivated; 

When the personal life is cultivated, then the family life is regulated; 

When the family life is regulated, then the national life is orderly; 

And when the national life is orderly, 

then there is peace in the world.

Quote by Confucius
