The most important thing is harmony, unity in the organization. That is what has brought success so far – unity. There are many students who are like gold, like diamonds, holding the quality of compassion towards others, kind-hearted, next is to be intelligent, understanding the Dharma, and then to be responsible. It is particularly due to the harmony, the unity, that there has been success and that we have been able to offer this much service.
