I have been invited by the President of the WFB to address this distinguished assembly. What I am about to say to you will be said as a fellow sufferer in birth, old age, sickness and death. Please forgive me, and allow me the opportunity to speak to you frankly. Truth, dedication, and the love of our fellow beings is the true spirit of us Buddhists.

What I am going to say within a short time is the result of my observations over the last 30 years, and I feel that it is the most important aspect of our great efforts, particularly when our worldwide activities have reached this stage. Yet we have not paid enough attention to this most important endeavor.
