Different Roads

"Religions are different roads converging upon the same point. What does it matter that we take different roads as long as we reach the same goal?"

Mahatma Gandhi

Philosophy is Kindness

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.

Dalai Lama

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.

Dalai Lama

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.

Dalai Lama

Native American Saying

Day and night cannot dwell together. Your religion was written on tables of stone, ours was written on our hearts.
