"We have so much to learn about how to live and how to behave for the sake of the future. Our religion gives us the strength and will to do this. Many of us don't have power.

The power is in other hands. But yes, there has to be a bigger way of seeing, where we don't just think about ourselves, where we think about the whole. It's very important that we all work for peace and for human rights. We have to take care to defend the truth."

"We're divided on too many things, and we are using religion to be divided also. Now we should fight this division, and then develop a new view on religion. We need to find out that there is just one God, and then there are many different teachers. But first we should stop the conflict. We should stop the divisions. And we should make sure that there is no more injustice. If we stop what we are doing right now, we will not create new problems. To find out what's possible for humanity, we need to sit down and talk together. We need to speak about everything—what we own, how we are, how we live. It has to start with individuals and then we'll meet together as one."
