If we desire to attain happiness we must understand that the journey begins within us and can reach out to touch millions.

Talking about universal themes such as compassion peace non-violence secularism and the pursuit of a healthy mind and body he reminds us that the responsibility to change our thoughts actions and lives lies with us. Once we accept ownership of every aspect of our lives we can then begin to catalyse change in the lives of others and through that process change the world. Through these speeches and dialogues His Holiness encourages each individual to embrace the path of happiness compassion and faith.
