-- TO MY FRIENDS —
Talking to someone while
believing in their Buddha nature 
and sharing our honest thoughts 
with them
is the very key to 
"people's diplomacy".
By ridding the inner barriers 
obstructing heart-to-heart conversation,
let's further expand 
our circle of friendship!

*"When people of different cultures respectfully learn from each other, experiencing the rich diversity of humanity's spiritual heritage, this lays the foundations for a far-reaching solidarity of friendship and mutual appreciation. Eventually, the warm light of humanity shining in the hearts of those who persist in such "people's diplomacy" can start to melt even the icy walls of national prestige and competing interests." (ref.
