The Dalai Lama says:
"This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples, no need for complicated philosophy. Our brain and our heart is our temple. The philosophy is kindness."
Such simple words, but it's so rare to see them applied!! Whenever you look around, what do you see but religion used as a means of separation and judgment, what do you see but philosophy (= words and images) used to brainwash people? Not always and everywhere, I agree. But MOSTLY. Don't you hear preachers say that their church is the only one that is wright (and all the others are wrong)? Aren't you fed with stories you read in newspapers and watch on television about corruption at all levels, killing, hatred, war, destruction? Yes, there are kind people, luckily, but they are not brought into the spotlight, they are not "interesting news". Kindness doesn't make the headlines!
