When Maha Ghosananda met with thousands of refugees in the camps, those whose villages had been burned and loved ones killed, he would sit with them and chant, "Hatred never ceases by hatred, but by love alone is healed," over and over. He wanted to inspire them with a truth even bigger than their sorrows, to give them courage to start to live without hate again. The citizens of the world must find a way to learn this truth. Their future happiness and liberation depend on it.
