“I began to sense that a big part of our problem is simple ignorance of what the oldest cultures have to teach.” 

“Impartiality is a pompous name for indifference, which is an elegant name for ignorance.”

Meditation brings wisdom; lack of mediation leaves ignorance. Know well what leads you forward and what hold you back, and choose the path that leads to wisdom.

We all should rise, above the clouds of ignorance, narrowness, and selfishness.

Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.

Obstinate people can be divided into the opinionated, the ignorant, and the boorish.

When we are motivated by compassion and wisdom, the results of our actions benefit everyone, not just our individual selves or some immediate convenience. When we are able to recognize and forgive ignorant actions of the past, we gain strength to constructively solve the problems of the present.

Don’t ever mistake my silence for ignorance, my calmness for acceptance or my kindness for weakness. Compassion and tolerance are not a sign of weakness, but a sign of strength.
