Thought for the day, Monday 1st September

“When we return to the present moment to be in touch with our true home, we no longer discriminate and we no longer have a narrow mind. Our mind is vast, our heart is open, and we embrace and learn from every race, every culture. If young people can open their hearts to learn about other cultures, they will find much goodness, beauty, and enrichment. When we can do that ourselves, we can help those who are stuck to understand and accept people from other cultures. Coming together with openness and acceptance, we can transform hatred, and we contribute to preventing war in our own personal way.”
