Quote
It's time we change the very definition of patriotism - it's time we break our primitive loyalty to land and culture and foster a sense of servitude in its place - servitude towards the helpless - servitude towards the oppressed - servitude towards the destitute.

Quote
Whilst on the subject of the spread of Buddhism in the West, I want to say that I have noticed some tendency towards sectarianism amongst new practitioners. This is absolutely wrong. Religion should never become a source of conflict, a further factor of division within the human community.

Beware all bearers of sectarianism, this is my humankind and I am standing on guard here - so this civilization is off limits - take your business elsewhere, perhaps in the jungle, for that's where you belong.

Sonnet of ProgressWhere the nation ends,There the world begins.Where the self fades,There community begins.Where luxury withers,There equality begins.Where biases shrink,There truth begins.Where pride dies,There growth begins.Where rigidity ends,There life begins.Such true life is forever revered.Prejudice conquered is world conquered.

Quote
Remembering the martyrs and honoring the armed forces on veterans day may make you feel proud, but sustaining a tradition that conditions you to celebrate the loss of life in the name of patriotism is not something to take pride in - if anything this celebration is a brutal reminder of tribalism - of our shortfalls - of our inability to assimilate - of our failure in becoming truly civilized. Therefore, the need of the hour is, we work so that we no longer need a veterans day.

Quote
The individual must choose in which direction they want to take this world of ours - will they take it down the same rotten path of sectarianism like our ancestors did, or will they build a whole new civilized path - a path that facilitates love, not hate - a path that facilitates discussion, not debate - a path that unites, not divides - in short, a path that is human, not savage!

Of all nations on the face of earth, My nation is the greatest. This is no behavior of the civilized, It's but a sign of the stupidest.
