He said you should not accept those things I taught out of respect for me, but rather through investigation by yourself.

I think every human being, born from mother, and at least the next few years, you see, received immense affection from our mother. So the child's first experience in this lifetime at the beginning, I think that immense affection from other is in our blood.

It is important to reflect on the kindness of others. Every aspect of our present well-being is due to others' hard work.

None of them would exist but for the kindness of so many people unknown to us.
