INSIGHT from His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama.
" One of the most powerful visions I have ever experienced was the first photgraph of the earth from outer space. The image of a blue planet floating in space, glowing like the full moon on a clear night, brought home powerfully to me the recognition that we are indeed all members of a single family sharing one little house.
"I always sat that people should not rush to change religions. There is real value in finding the spiritual resources you need in your home religion. In fact it is thought that this practise has a far more profoundly powerful effect in the world as a whole"
I am open to the guidance of synchronicity, and do not let expectations hinder my path.
"This new concept ought to be elaborated alongside the religions, in such a way that all people of good will could adhere to it. We ought to promote this concept with the help of scientists. It could lead us to what we are looking for."
"What science finds to be nonexistent, we must accept as nonexcistent, but what science merely does not find is a completly different matter. ... It is quite clear that there are many, many, mysterious things."
"There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart. our own temples.This body is our temple; my philosophy is kindness."
"I think in our daily experience, daily life, when we develop strong emotions, then you can't see the reality we should practise using our Deitys represented in our thankas that make up our celestial gallery.
Emptiness should be understood in the context of dependent arising and it should invoke a sense of fullness, of things created by causes and conditions. We shouldn't think that self is something that is originally there and then eliminated in meditation; in fact, it is something that never existed in the first place.
