“In my own spiritual journey, I became a swami on the Hindu path of Bhakti. In the Hindu tradition, a swami is a monk who forgoes regular family life for the purpose of making the whole world his family and channels his full energy into spiritual practice, devotion to God and service to humanity.” WorldWholeSpiritualPurposeHumanityEnergyMy OwnPracticePathJourneyTraditionDevotionWhole WorldMonkFamily LifeSpiritual JourneySpiritual PracticeService To HumanityBhaktiDevotion To God Author:Radhanath Swami

“What we need most is to restore and revive our humanity. We must create a society where people can live with dignity, a society where people can live in peace and happiness. People are tired of games played for power and profit. People are tired of hatred and conflict. They want to live with more wisdom and confidence, and in peace. It may seem like a long and distant path, but I am convinced that the 21st century must see a movement to sow the seeds of peace, happiness and trust in every person's heart. The seeds of a truly humane way of life. I am convinced this is the only path.” PeopleWayWantNeedsHeartMayPersonsLongSeemsHumanityGamesPathCenturyMovementConflictDignityHatredTiredProfitSeedsConvinced21st CenturyHumaneRevivePeace And HappinessHumane Way Author:Daisaku Ikeda

“It is the swimmer who first leaps into the frozen stream who is cut sharpest by the ice; those who follow him find it broken, and the last find it gone.

“Entranced by promises of a material paradise of limitless luxury, humanity has too long ignored the mismatch between the imperatives of our existence as living beings on a finite planet and the imperatives of the institutions of money that chart our path to the future.

“On the pilgrim's path each man must become Moses, going on a vision quest to some mountaintop and returning with the ten or twenty commandments that he holds sacred.
