atoms spirituality convergence
The universe is a single atom: the convergence of science and spirituality.
suffering spirituality stage
The highest happiness is when one reaches the stage of liberation, at which there is no more suffering.
believe together spirituality
I believe deeply that we must find, all of us together, a new spirituality.
meaning-of-life spirituality useful-life
What is the meaning of life? To be happy and useful.
gains spirituality periods
The period of greatest gain in knowledge and experience is the most difficult period in one's life.
anxiety facts wealthy
In fact, being wealthy often brings even more anxiety.
I am confident that the next century will be better than this one.
tolerance important virtue
Tolerance is an important virtue of bodhisattvas .
people chinese violence
I only escaped from Tibet because I feared my people would resort to desperate violence if the Chinese took me as their prisoner.
spiritual people fields
Spiritually, yes, now many people knows Tibetans in spiritual field are very, very advanced but in material field is very, very backward.
buddhist order enemy
If the situation was such that there was only one learned lama or genuine practitioner alive, a person whose death would cause the whole of Tibet to lose all hope of keeping its Buddhist way of life, then it is conceivable that in order to protect that one person it might be justified for one or 10 enemies to be eliminated if there was no other way.
thinking competition female
I think, that in the twenty-second century, there will be more female reincarnations at female institutions. Then there'll be competition between male lama institutions and female lama institutions. It'll be a positive sort of competition.
buddhism thinking males
I think when religions such as Hinduism and Buddhism - as well as Christianity and Judaism - were founded, at that time societies were generally male-dominated. So, therefore this social notion also influenced religion.
karma buddhist heart
The way of presentation is different according to each religion. In theistic religions like Buddhism, Buddhist values are incorporated. In nontheistic religions, like some types of ancient Indian thought, the law of karma applies. If you do something good, you get a good result. Now, what we need is a way to educate nonbelievers. These nonbelievers may be critical of all religions, but they should be decent at heart.
