More on Education
“The most beautiful voice in the world is that of an educated Southern woman.”
“I would rather entertain and hope that people learned something than educate people and hope they were entertained.”
“We have to think and see how we can fundamentally change our education system so that we can train people to develop warm-heartedness early on in order to create a healthier society. I don't mean we need to change the whole system, just improve it. We need to encourage an understanding that inner peace comes from relying on human values like, love, compassion, tolerance and honesty, and that peace in the world relies on individuals finding inner peace.”
More on Mind
“Commonplace minds usually condemn what is beyond the reach of their understanding.”
“Knowing yourself as the awareness behind the voice is freedom.”
“If you know the point of balance, You can settle the details. If you can settle the details, You can stop running around. Your mind will become calm. If your mind becomes calm, You can think in front of a tiger. If you can think in front of a tiger, You will surely succeed.”
