This evening a journalist asked me, “What is the purpose of your going everywhere and helping people?” I said there is only one true purpose: to make the world a better place. We help a nation or person not because we think that money or the material side is very important, or that without our help they would die. Even if they died, it would not be very important because those of us who practice spiritually or who believe in Buddha know there is reincarnation. If one’s body is gone, one could get another body. We help others not because we worry about material things, but because symbolically we want to show that that there is love, mutual concern and unconditional sacrifice in this world. We want to raise the energy of this world in a spiritual way, to spread the loving atmosphere on our planet. When there is unconditional love among neighbors, our world becomes better and better. This is the true purpose and true meaning of charity.

Love is the most precious thing in the whole universe, not only in this world. So, many of the celestial or extraterrestrial beings are attracted by the atmosphere of love on our planet. They recognize that love is the most beautiful thing in the universe. Even though some of the planets are highly developed in technology, they lack this emotion, this true love among one another. Sometimes their beings even come here to observe and learn.

That’s why we have to protect our loving atmosphere, because that’s all we have. We are not as developed or civilized as other planets. But at least we have something that is the most beautiful in the universe, and that is love. We have to protect and preserve this loving atmosphere so that we can share it with other planets in the future. (Applause)
