pain medicine house
pain is inevitable,suffering is optional... we have bigger houses,but smaller families. More conveniences,but less time. We have knowledge,but less judgements; more experts,but more problems ; more medicines but less health.
pluralism should be-careful
There should be pluralism - the concept of many religions, many truths. But we must also be careful not to become nihilistic.
buddhist unique chinese
Today, due to the massive Chinese population transfer, the nation of Tibet truly faces the threat of extinction, along with its unique cultural heritage of Buddhist spirituality.
exercise mind independence
Some feel that you lose your independence if you don't let your mind just wander where it wants to, if you try to control it. But that is not the case. If your mind is proceeding in the correct way, one already has the correct opinion. But if your mind is proceeding in an incorrect way, then it's necessary, definitely, to exercise control.
trying progress enthusiasm
Try to improve. Don't expect too much, but don't feel discouraged either; keep up your enthusiasm; you will make progress.
lying heart reality
There is no self-interest completely unrelated to others' interests. Due to the fundamental interconnectedness which lies at the heart of reality, your interest is also my interest. From this it becomes clear that "my" interest and "your" interest are intimately connected. In a deep sense, they converge.
compassion practice concern-for-others
What is the relationship between spirituality and ethical practice? Since love and compassion and similar qualities all, by definition, presume some level of concern for others' well-being, they presume ethical restraint. We cannot be loving and compassionate unless at the same time we curb our own harmful impulses and desires.
motivational perspective generations
If we continue to approach problems from the perspective of temporary expediency, future generations will face tremendous difficulties.
inspirational regret goal
Once a positive goal is chosen, you should decide to pursue it all the way to the end. Even if it is not realized, at least there will be no regret.
inspirational impact trying
If you want to change the world, first try to improve and bring about change within yourself. That will help change your family. From there it just gets bigger and bigger. Everything we do has some effect, some impact.
sadness long people
People should never sit alone for too long when they're crying.
spiritual purpose criticise
The very purpose of religion is to control yourself, not to criticise others.
sleep adversity enemy
Easy times are the enemy, they put us to sleep. Adversity is our friend, it wakes us up
real mind enemy
The real enemy of happiness is the mind's fixations and delusions... If you have the right mind, you can overcome anything - you can be happy, no matter what.
