A simple smile. That's the start of opening your heart and being compassionate to others.
attachment perspective vision
Attachment constrains our vision so that we are not able to see things from a wider perspective.
buddhist past rules-to-live-by
In disagreements with loved ones, deal only with the current situation. Don't bring up the past.
spiritual confusion honor
I always tell my Western friends that it is best to keep your own tradition. Changing religion is not easy and sometimes causes confusion. You must value your tradition and honor your own religion.
life taken order
In order to satisfy one human stomach, so many lives are taken away. We must promote vegetarianism. It is extremely important.
powerful hands long
Although violence and the use of force may appear powerful and decisive, their benefits are short-lived. Violence can never bring a lasting and long term resolution to any problem, because it is unpredictable and for every problem it seems to solve, others are created. On the other hand, truth remains constant and will ultimately prevail.
wisdom prayer meditation
Change only takes place through action, not through meditation and prayer.
compassion self calm-mind
Compassion, tolerance, forgiveness and a sense of self-discipline are qualities that help us lead our daily lives with a calm mind
death dying research
We must conduct research and then accept the results. If they don't stand up to experimentation, Buddha`s own words must be rejected.
loss inner-strength gains
It is worth remembering that the time of greatest gain in terms of wisdom and inner strength is often that of greatest difficulty.
pride helping-others attachment
The very purpose of religion is to control yourself, not to criticize others. Rather, we must criticize ourselves. How much am I doing about my anger? About my attachment, about my hatred, about my pride, my jealousy? These are the things which we must check in daily life.
country giving-up heart
NEVER GIVE UP No matter what is going on Never give up Develop the heart Too much energy in your country Is spent developing the mind Instead of the heart Be compassionate Not just to your friends But to everyone Be compassionate Work for peace In your heart and in the world Work for peace And I say again Never give up No matter what is going on around you Never give up
religious hypocrisy people
I always tell people that religious institutions and political institutions should be separate. So while I'm telling people this, I myself continue with them combined. Hypocrisy!
change religious kings
World belongs to humanity, not this leader, that leader or that king or prince or religious leader. World belongs to humanity.
