Excerpt from the Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech

"I pray for all of us, oppressor and friend, that together we succeed in building a better world through human understanding and love, and that in doing so we may reduce the pain and suffering of all sentient beings."

And for as long as living beings remain,
Until then may I too abide
To dispel the misery of the world.
