Trying to remember some of the main points.....
He believes all people, beginning as children, have seed of compassion within them....this seed may or may not be overwhelmed by environment as part of growing up. Humans are inherently compassionate...?
(he's never met Princess)
Snark aside, this verbalizes the challenge as to nurturing the seed of compassion in Princess (and me, and the rest of the family), which means I need to find her seed of compassion and empathy.....too often all I see and hear are selfishness and "go away daddy"
As for nurturing the seed, he talks about the importance of the love a child gets from his/her mother as key for future mental well being (very gender specific here). Later in QA session talks improtance of providing "affection" to our children."
The key to mental well being is having a "calm" mind.
His voice is making me very drowsy......
greatest influence (after Buddha)...Mahatma Ghandi, whom he never met -- except once, in a dream
"so much depends on your own self confidence, your own optimism"
its my catch-22 -- yes, I could be more confident in myself if only I was more confident in myself
here is a link to the whole speech (click the play video)
