This Is My Simple Religion

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 kindness.

Dalai Lama

Happiness Is Not Something Ready Made

Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.
Dalai Lama

Be Kind Whenever Possible

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Dalai Lama

Conquer Yourself

It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles.
Then the victory is yours.
It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.
Buddha

Our Thoughts

We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think.
When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.
Buddha
