"Peace must first be developed within an individual.
And I believe that love, compassion, and altruism
are the fundamental basis for peace.
Once these qualities are developed within an individual,
he or she is then able to create
an atmosphere of peace and harmony.
This atmosphere can be expanded and extended
from the individual to his family,
from the family to the community
and eventually to the whole world."
(Foreward, H.H. The Dalai Lama, page v.)
