“We should know that learning to cherish others is the best method for establishing world peace in general, and for our own peace of mind in particular. If everyone sincerely prays to be able to cherish other living beings, then gradually, through the power of this prayer, everyone will actually cherish each other. The world will then be permanently at peace, and pure and everlasting happiness will pervade the entire world.”
— Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche
