"Certainly, order has its hierarchy, but the beings that make up this order should be equal in personality."
"Absolute fairness is indeed difficult, but we should not give up the pursuit of justice just because it is difficult."
"Fairness means opportunity, that every life possesses a bright future, that every life possesses hope."
"No nobility, no privilege, all beings, whether transcendent or ordinary, whether long-lived or short-lived, can respect each other and achieve mutual benefit."
"And this is the true pursuit of our Life Church."
