religious hypocrisy people
I always tell people that religious institutions and political institutions should be separate. So while I'm telling people this, I myself continue with them combined. Hypocrisy!
pride helping-others attachment
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.
loss inner-strength gains
It is worth remembering that the time of greatest gain in terms of wisdom and inner strength is often that of greatest difficulty.
death dying research
We must conduct research and then accept the results. If they don't stand up to experimentation, Buddha`s own words must be rejected.
powerful hands long
Although violence and the use of force may appear powerful and decisive, their benefits are short-lived. Violence can never bring a lasting and long term resolution to any problem, because it is unpredictable and for every problem it seems to solve, others are created. On the other hand, truth remains constant and will ultimately prevail.
worry needs use
If it can be solved, there's no need to worry, and if it can't be solved, worry is of no use.
fear real fall
When we meet real tragedy in life, we can react in two ways--either by losing hope and falling into self-destructive habits, or by using the challenge to find our inner strength.
peace wish ifs
If you wish to experience peace, provide peace for another.
depression lonely compassion
The more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense of well-being.
be-kind kind
I'd rather be kind than right. You can always be kind.
powerful stronger way
The way to overcome negative thoughts and destructive emotions is to develop opposing, positive emotions that are stronger and more powerful.
anger thinking brain
Generally speaking, if a human being never shows anger, then I think something's wrong. He's not right in the brain.
suicide country fighting
The time has come to educate people, to cease all quarrels in the name of religion, culture, countries, different political or economic systems. Fighting is useless. Suicide.
peace community share
When we have inner peace, we can be at peace with those around us. When our community is in a state of peace, it can share that peace with neighboring communities.
