buddhism self discipline
Whether you call it Buddhism or another religion, self-discipline, that's important. Self-discipline with awareness of consequences.
men use making-money
I do not understand men. They spend their lives to use their health to make money and then they spend their money to restore their health.
lit thousand candle
A thousand candles can be lit from one candle, however the life of the original candle is not shortened in the least.
animal survival unhappy
The problem isn't materialism as such. Rather it is the underlying assumption that full satisfaction can arise from gratifying the senses alone. Unlike animals whose quest for happiness is restricted to survival and to the immediate gratification of sensory desires, we human beings have the capacity to experience happiness at a deeper level which, when achieved, can overwhelm unhappy experiences.
motivation real compassion
The real troublemakers are anger, jealousy, impatience, and hatred. With them, problems cannot be solved. Though we may have temporary success, ultimately our hatred or anger will create futher difficulties. Anger makes for swift solutions. Yet, when we face problems with compassion, sincerity, and good motivation, our solutions may take longer, but ultimately they are better.
thinking discipline behaviour
I think that ethical behaviour is another feature of the kind of inner discipline that leads to a happier existence.
patterns way birth
Looking at the pattern of our existence from birth to death, we can see the way in which we are fundamentally nurtured by other's affection.
attitude compassion mind
Once you encourage the thought of compassion in your mind, once it becomes active, then your attitude towards others changes automatically.
religious thinking compassion
I don't think human affection and compassion are just religious concerns; they're indispensable factors in our day-to-day lives.
calm-mind helping situation
A calm mind helps our human intelligence to assess the situation realistically.
stress worry looks
When there is too much stress or worry, look within.
past attention
Attention-yes! That's present! And present, you see, makes past and future.
religious west harmony
In most cases, my visits to the West are for promotion of human values and religious harmony.
dog horse men
Every man has the basis of good. Not only human beings, you can find it among animals and insects, for instance, when we treat a dog or horse lovingly.
