The Minister said that in a world full of competition, it is important to remember values like kindness, empathy, and respect. These values are key to building a peaceful society and helping young people grow.

He encouraged them to practice kindness, quoting the Dalai Lama: “Be kind whenever possible; it is always possible.”
The Minister also talked about the connection between kindness and tourism. He said that kindness helps people from different cultures connect and share stories.

Daaji said that personal experience is more powerful than knowledge. According to him, meditation improves all aspects of life. He added that people should move beyond religion, as it has often caused division, and work toward creating a world full of spiritually enlightened individuals.
