Zitat des Tages von Lobsang Tenzin:
Today, education does not give you the wisdom and the understanding; it only indoctrinates you to believe something. So the mind knows very less but accepts so many things; it may be science, it may be technology, it may be anything.
The line of demarcation between history and legend is too thin to observe while writing; the two overlap each other unconsciously and unknowingly.
Because all the thought processes are limited, they are conditioned, and the thought does not touch directly with the reality, the truth; thoughts only grasps at the image of the truth.
Everyone needs an open mind and an accepting heart. With a combination of these two aspects, you will be able to communicate sensibly.

You need not search for the compassionate mind from outside. To know yourself, to know your nature, your mind will automatically be the compassionate one.
I do not think any religion encourages intolerance. Intolerance is the biggest mental defilement, and every religion tries to remove this defilement. So we must understand that whenever there is intolerance, this comes from an irreligious mind. It is not created by religion, and it is not in the mind of the religious person.
People forget who they are; they always remain with an identity which is not the real self. It is just a projected self which does not exist, but they identify with this projected self appearance.
Non-violence is the essence of the entire Buddha's teaching, and the practice of non-violence is the entire essence of the practice of Buddha dharma, Buddhist spirituality, in one's life.
We shall have to practise to lead our life on the basis of our needs, not under the influence of our greed.
No one can avoid death; it is inevitable. Therefore, I should create in my mind a kind of willingness and accepting for that event without any fear.
Faith and reason overpower each other throughout one's life, which results in contradiction, but the conflict never ceases in any sphere.
For a person who is very much involved with the institution of religion but has lost the religious spirit, the 'religion' label is the real threat to liberty.
If you are able to see the interrelatedness of mind and body, sensitivity towards your body becomes much sharper. Therefore, maintaining of good health also becomes easier.
Communication will bring understanding and understanding will cause harmonious mutual relationships which can establish peace and stability.
To learn means by practice, by inquiring, by analyzing to find out what is, not what was.
