Mao once said to the young Dalai Lama:" Religion is poision".
How wrong is Mao! It is very clear that the ambitiousness and extremism of one's desires that has corrupted the moral sentiments and fraternity of nations.
It is more worrisome that in our generation, without proper perspective of right and wrong, the young, ambitious extremists wage hurting and insensitive verbal wars against the religions of one another. And their greatest folly is being exploited by the few for their own personal albeit missionary objectives. This is the worst development of our youths today.
They know not that they are waging wars against the brotherhood of their own human race; forgetting the old golden rule of peace and harmony is embracing diversities as one.
Forgive them.

If you wish to know about your past life, just look at your present life. If you wish to know about your next life, see what you have done in this life.
-
Teaching of the morals should not rest solely as the responsibilities of any religion, nor with schools, but primarily, it all boils down to parents and how they want their children to be when they become adult.
-
Vice versa, schools must re-establish and redefine the true meaning of education. This is sadly amissed in our modern curriculum.

Ordinary beings try to change the people, environment, situations etc. The wise ones will change his/her mindset instead of the people, environment, situations etc. It is easier to change ourselves than changing the external factors. Living is practicing, practicing is to change our behaviour instead of trying to change others' behaviour to suit us.

- 陆游,Lu You (1125 - 1209). Great patriotic poet of Southern Song, and an accomplished swordsman. Forced by parents to divorce his childhood love as they have no children after marriage, Lu You fell into great despair. It was at this time when northern song fell into the foreign hands, and despite his ardent support and desire to reclaim his lost country, he faced insurmountable opposition from other court ministers. His poems were marked with periods of great despair and disillusionment, but set with consistent overtones of courage and hope through rare linguistic ingenuity and rhythms.

- Li Yu (937 – 978). Last Tang Emperor whose wife was repeatedly raped by the new Song dynasty second emperor, Zhao Guang Yi. His ci poems were the finest of all time, filled with learned and great aristocratic styles, seeped into beauty of nature with great poetic illuminations, but grew with grave melancholic rhythms over time with the fall of his empire, dignity and love.
