The ten virtues is the constitution of peace in the whole world. If everyone follows this international constitution that itself is peace and is how peace is created. Furthermore, engaging in the ten virtuous action is the obvious cause of both peace and happiness: preserving life, practising generosity, practising moral sexual behaviour, speaking truthfully; speaking harmoniously, speaking peacefully and politely; speaking meaningfully; practising contentment; practising loving-kindness and compassion and practising the perfect meaning, wisdom. It is important to understand the demarcation of causality as it is the foundation for world peace regardless of ideology, spiritual background, even for those who don’t believe in any religion. So everyone has the responsibility to free themselves from the ten nonvirtues. And instead of dreaming for peace and harmony in our daily life we should respect each other and appreciate others contribution and good deeds. These are the foundations for spiritual development. These virtues and nonvirtues are the demarcation of peace and suffering in the secular world. Anyone who maintains the ten virtues has peace and is creating the cause of peace. Anyone who involved in the ten nonvirtues has suffering and is creating the cause of further suffering.
