oneness focus different
We must realize that it is best to focus on our oneness, to re emphasize what is the same about each of us rather than dwell on what is different.
differences focus humanity
There are differences between us. But it doesn't make sense to emphasize that, because my future and yours is connected with everyone else's. So we have to take seriously our concern for all of humanity. When we focus on our individuality, humanity inevitably suffers. And once humanity suffers, each one of us will also suffer.
thinking focus welfare
If you shift your focus from oneself to others, and think more about others' well-being and welfare, it has an immediate liberating effect.
self anxiety focus
One of the most effective ways to overcome anxiety is to try to shift the focus of attention away from self and toward others.
focus humanity gains
If you focus only on yourself and neglect others, you will lose; but you will gain if you value others as much as you cherish yourself.
caring opening-up focus
If you shift your focus from yourself to others, extend your concern to others, and cultivate the thought of caring for the well being of others, then this will have the immediate effect of opening up your life and helping you to reach out.
bring cultural genocide link motivated order railway taking useful
Some kind of cultural genocide is taking place. In general, a railway link is very useful in order to develop, but not when politically motivated to bring about demographic change.
anxiety facts wealthy
In fact, being wealthy often brings even more anxiety.
tolerance important virtue
Tolerance is an important virtue of bodhisattvas .
spiritual people fields
Spiritually, yes, now many people knows Tibetans in spiritual field are very, very advanced but in material field is very, very backward.
buddhist order enemy
If the situation was such that there was only one learned lama or genuine practitioner alive, a person whose death would cause the whole of Tibet to lose all hope of keeping its Buddhist way of life, then it is conceivable that in order to protect that one person it might be justified for one or 10 enemies to be eliminated if there was no other way.
thinking competition female
I think, that in the twenty-second century, there will be more female reincarnations at female institutions. Then there'll be competition between male lama institutions and female lama institutions. It'll be a positive sort of competition.
buddhism thinking males
I think when religions such as Hinduism and Buddhism - as well as Christianity and Judaism - were founded, at that time societies were generally male-dominated. So, therefore this social notion also influenced religion.
karma buddhist heart
The way of presentation is different according to each religion. In theistic religions like Buddhism, Buddhist values are incorporated. In nontheistic religions, like some types of ancient Indian thought, the law of karma applies. If you do something good, you get a good result. Now, what we need is a way to educate nonbelievers. These nonbelievers may be critical of all religions, but they should be decent at heart.
