“People in the world should truly respect and love each other, refraining from hatred and envy. They should share things with others, refraining from greed and miserliness. They should always be friendly in speech and expression, refraining from quarrel and dispute.”
- Shakyamuni Buddha, Sutra of Immeasurable Life
