-Dalai Lama quotes (I strongly agree with these particular quotes of his):
"The Planet does not need more successful people. The planet desperately needs more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers and lovers of all kinds."
“This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness."
"I believe that the only true religion consists of having a good heart."
"My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness."
"Loving kindness is my religion."
"All the world's major religions, with their emphasis on love, compassion, patience, tolerance, and forgiveness can and do promote inner values. But the reality of the world today is that grounding ethics in religion is no longer adequate. This is why I am increasingly convinced that the time has come to find a way of thinking about spirituality and ethics beyond religion altogether."
Since climate change and the global economy now affect us all, we have to develop a sense of the oneness of humanity."
"Prayer won't solver your problems."
"It is unrealistic to think that the future of humanity can be achieved only on the basis of prayer; What we need is to take action."
"Today, more than ever before, life must be characterized by a sense of Universal responsibility, not only nation to nation and human to human, but also human to other forms of life."
"Whether one believes in a religion or not, and whether one believes in rebirth or not, there isn't anyone who doesn't appreciate kindness and compassion."
"Every religion emphasizes human improvement, love, respect for others, sharing other people's suffering. On these lines every religion had more or less the same viewpoint and the same goal."
"The best religion is the one that gets you closer to God.
It is the one that makes you a better person.
Whatever makes you more compassionate, more sensible, more detached, more loving, more humanitarian, more responsible, more ethical.
The religion that will do that for you,
is the best religion, for you.
I am not interested, my friend, in your religion, or if you are religious or not. What is important to me is your behavior with your peers, family, work, community and in front of the world.
Remember, the Universe is the echo of our actions and our thoughts."
"If you have a particular faith or religion, that is good. But you can survive without it."
"We can live without religion and meditation, but we cannot survive without human affection."
"If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion."
"We may say prayers when we are trying to solve the problems we face, but it is up to us to put an end to violence and bring about peace. Creating peace is our responsibility. To pray for peace while still engaging in the causes that give rise to violence is contradictory."
