"People seeking to live spiritually must be concerned with their social and physical environment."

"Radical transformation of society requires personal and spiritual change first or at least simultaneously."

"It is not a Buddhist approach to say that if everyone practiced Buddhism, the world would be a better place. Wars and oppression begin from this kind of thinking."

"The use of market values and technology as a social barometer has devalued the worth of individuals, rendered irrelevant the quality of their lives, and stunted their creativity."

"We have more than enough programs, organisations, parties, and strategies in the world for the alleviation of suffering and injustice."
