Wisdom

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 kidness.
In the struggle for freedom, truth is the only weapon we possess.
Love and compassion are necessities not luxuries. without them humanity can not survive.
A learned person will become noble only when he or she put into real practice what has been learned, instead of just mere words.
Compassion and love are precious things...they are not complicated. they are simple, but difficult to practice.
The purpose of religion is not to build beautiful churches or temples, but to cultivate positive human qualities such as tolerance, generosity, and love.
Come together and think in terms of one world that we call Buddha is warm-heartedness developed indefinitely- love perfected.
We should think of compassion as being the preserve of the scared. It is one of our basic human qualities...
From the very core of our being we desire contentment. for Harmony, each individual's identity must be fully respected.
Our planet is our house we must take care of it if we are genuinely concerned about happiness for ourselves, our children, our friends and other sentient beings who share this great house with us.
The seed for nirvana exists in all of us.
