inspirational religious buddhist
The motivation of all religious practice is similar: love, sincerity, honesty. The way of life of practically all religious persons is consistent. The teachings of tolerance, love, and compassion are the same.
patience enemy conditions
The enemy is the necessary condition for practicing patience.
inspirational brother motivation
A good motivation is what is needed: compassion without dogmatism, without complicated philosophy; just understanding that others are human brothers and sisters and respecting their human rights and dignities. That we humans can help each other is one of our unique human capacities.
spiritual religious hurt
All major religious traditions carry basically the same message that is love, compassion and forgiveness the important thing is they should be part of our daily lives." Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them." 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.
wise selfish teaching
Is this what you have in mind,' I asked the Dalai Lama, 'when you say in teachings that the buddhas and bodhisattvas of the world are the most selfish beings of all, that by cultivating altruism they actually achieve ultimate happiness for themselves?' Yes. That's wise selfish,' he replied. 'Helping others not means we do this at our own expense. Not like this. Buddhas and bodhisattvas, these people very wise. All their lives they only want one thing: to achieve ultimate happiness. How to do this? By cultivating compassion, by cultivating altruism.
inspirational able needs
We discover that all human beings are just like us, so we are able to relate to them more easily. That generates a spirit of friendship in which there is less need to hide what we feel or what we are doing.
inspirational heart happy-life
If you have only education and knowledge and a lack of the other side, then you may not be a happy person, but a person of mental unrest, of frustration. Not only that, but if you combine these two, your whole life will be a constructive and happy life. And certainly you can make immense benefit for society and the betterment of humanity. That is one of my fundamental beliefs: that a good heart, a warm heart, a compassionate heart, is still teachable.
life spiritual believe
Love and Compassion are the true religions to me. But to develop this, we do not need to believe in any religion.
want finals rebirth
One thing I want to make clear, as far as my own rebirth is concerned, the final authority is myself and no one else, and obviously not China's Communists.
liberty democracy world
China has to go along with world trends. That's democracy, liberty, individual freedom. China sooner or later has to go that way. It cannot go backward.
unhappy shelter comfort
Even when a person has all of life's comforts - good food, good shelter, a companion - he or she can still become unhappy when encountering a tragic situation.
education buddhist views
I have always had this view about the modern education system: we pay attention to brain development, but the development of warmheartedness we take for granted.
sacrifice tibetan
Many Tibetans sacrifice their lives.
people chinese want
Chinese people themselves, they really want change.
