Buddhism: World Peace Starts with Friendship
Our individual circle of friendship is part of the global circle of friendship, it is one and the same. A drop of rain from the sky, a drop of water from the river, or a drop water from the ocean are all just that — a drop of water — until they accumulate, The friendships we make in our own small circle contribute to the spread of friendship around the world. Making one true friend is a step toward creating world peace.
