Great thought from the Ghandhi of Cambodia in the Future of Peace...

During the discussion between Scott Hunt and Maha Ghosananda (known as The Ghandhi of Cambodia), Maha Ghosananda stated, “If you look down upon people, are very proud and haughty, your mind will become ignorant. If you are respect everybody, because the whole world is your house and all human beings are your mother. Then you will become very wise. You must have su, chi, po, li. Su means to listen, chi means to think, pu means to question, and li means to record. To listen, to think, to question, and to record, these make you become very wise. If you don’t have them you become ignorant. That is the law of dharma.” Page 175

Maha Ghasananda also stated about working together that, “If we want to work together better, we must have four feet to stand. The first one is loving kindness (metta). The second one is compassion (karuna). The third one is joy (mundita). The last one is equanimity (ubekkha.)”
