to bring this ring.

Thank you.

Yes.

My father told me that the Buddhist

considering the whole life ...

about how everything that lives is precious.

He also told me

that if you choose to fight ...

accept this decision ...

otherwise you look

the world with compassion.

In Hawaii, we also found that ...

Whatever you do in life ...

Do it for the next seven generations.
