Ultimately humanity is one, and this small planet is our only home. If we're to protect this home of ours, each of us needs to experience a vivid sense of universal altruism and compassion. ~ Dalai Lama XIV
Tibetian Buddhism quotes by Dalai Lama XIV
One of the principal evils in life, according to Buddhism, is 'repugnance' or hatred. Repugnance (pratigha) is explained as 'ill-will with regard to living beings, with regard to suffering and with regard to things pertaining to suffering. Its function is to produce a basis for unhappy states and bad conduct.'1 Thus it is wrong to be impatient at suffering. Being impatient or angry at suffering does not remove it. On the contrary, it adds a little more to one's troubles, and aggravates and exacerbates a situation already disagreeable. What is necessary is not anger or impatience, but the understanding of the question of suffering, how it comes about, and how to get rid of it, and then to work accordingly with patience, intelligence, determination and energy. ~ Walpola Rahula
Tibetian Buddhism quotes by Walpola Rahula
The religions whose theology is least preoccupied with events in time and most concerned with eternity, have been consistently less violent and more humane in political practice. Unlike early Judaism, Christianity and Mohammedanism (all obsessed with time) Hinduism and Buddhism have never been persecuting faiths, have preached almost no holy wars and have refrained from that proselytizing religious imperialism which has gone hand in hand with political and economic oppression of colored people. ~ Aldous Huxley
Tibetian Buddhism quotes by Aldous Huxley
Learn to control your emotions. Be able to glide through them. By practicing concentration exercises and meditation, you will find that when strong emotions strike, you will gain the ability to not be swayed by them. ~ Frederick Lenz
Tibetian Buddhism quotes by Frederick Lenz
We get so involved with the latest craze or having the latest car or the most high-powered house that we lose touch with that which makes us happy - what makes us happy are quiet states of mind. ~ Frederick Lenz
Tibetian Buddhism quotes by Frederick Lenz
Beyond all of this is something else, perfection; not just as an ideation, but as a living reality. Even though it may just be an idea for you, hold that idea in your mind. ~ Frederick Lenz
Tibetian Buddhism quotes by Frederick Lenz
Focus on the heart center and feel love. There is a flower there, but it's like a rose folded up. As you meditate, feel that the flower is opening. Each time you open a set of petals you're going deeper into eternal awareness. ~ Frederick Lenz
Tibetian Buddhism quotes by Frederick Lenz
You know when i was a little kid in oregon i didn't feel that i was and american at all, with all that suburban ideal and sex repression and general dreary newspaper gray censorship of all our real human values but and when i discovered buddhism and all i suddenly felt that i had lived in a previous lifetime innumerable ages ago and now because of the faults and sins in that lifetime i was being degraded to a more grievous domain of existence and my karma was to be born in america where nobody has any fun or believes in anything, especially freedom. ~ Jack Kerouac
Tibetian Buddhism quotes by Jack Kerouac
With mindfulness, loving kindness, and self-compassion, we can begin to let go of our expectations about how life and those we love should be. ~ Sharon Salzberg
Tibetian Buddhism quotes by Sharon Salzberg
Everything that can be and everything that cannot be exists somewhere. ~ Frederick Lenz
Tibetian Buddhism quotes by Frederick Lenz
Enlightenment is cumulative. You become a little more enlightened each day as you practice yoga and Buddhism. ~ Frederick Lenz
Tibetian Buddhism quotes by Frederick Lenz
Shakespeare said: "There's a special providence in the fall of a sparrow." Everything happens perfectly. ~ Frederick Lenz
Tibetian Buddhism quotes by Frederick Lenz
My happiness comes from doing all I can for my students. To help them, what else could there be? ~ Frederick Lenz
Tibetian Buddhism quotes by Frederick Lenz
Meditate well so you can be a good instrument of eternity. You could have a mediocre meditation today, but you're not going to. Today you might run into someone who you might talk to about the dharma. ~ Frederick Lenz
Tibetian Buddhism quotes by Frederick Lenz
There is a certain degree of pain to be experienced in the search for self-knowledge, as there is a certain amount of joy. You just do it because you find yourself doing it. There just doesn't seem to be much else worthwhile. ~ Frederick Lenz
Tibetian Buddhism quotes by Frederick Lenz
I have found a much greater appreciation of Buddhism because I couldn't take it for granted here in exile. ~ Dalai Lama
Tibetian Buddhism quotes by Dalai Lama
Among religions in this country which do not teach what would generally be considered a belief in the existence of God are Buddhism, Taoism, Ethical Culture, Secular Humanism and others. ~ Hugo Black
Tibetian Buddhism quotes by Hugo Black
To think that fulfilling yourself in this world will create eternal fulfillment is absurd. But we feel this way because we lack purity. ~ Frederick Lenz
Tibetian Buddhism quotes by Frederick Lenz
There are thousands of mantras. Everyone has favorites. I prefer three - Aum, Sring, and Kring. ~ Frederick Lenz
Tibetian Buddhism quotes by Frederick Lenz
Whether it's a fully enlightened Christ or Buddha, or just a more aware Martin Luther King, Kennedy or Gandhi, what did they do with them here? They shoot them, crucify them, and get them out of the way because people are afraid of truth. ~ Frederick Lenz
Tibetian Buddhism quotes by Frederick Lenz
Cause and effect, in the Buddhist sense, though. Any action you undertake creates a seed that will sprout when the conditions are right, creating a good or bad result."
"Do you believe in it?"
He doesn't allow even a pause. "Very much so. ~ Jacquie Underdown
Tibetian Buddhism quotes by Jacquie Underdown
The teacher will have a certain imprint, and each teacher imprints differently. Ultimately the imprint of the teacher is a limitation that you will have to overcome in your final stages of knowledge. ~ Frederick Lenz
Tibetian Buddhism quotes by Frederick Lenz
We have a spiritual community but everyone lives where they want to. I recommend certain areas to live because of their power. ~ Frederick Lenz
Tibetian Buddhism quotes by Frederick Lenz
I've always liked Southeast Asia a lot. It's a wonderful place, an easy place. People are great, there's a lot of history and culture, and I like the serenity of Buddhism there. It's very beautiful. I find that to be a very nice place to visit. ~ Matt Dillon
Tibetian Buddhism quotes by Matt Dillon
Maui is a beautiful island. It's really the site of an ancient civilization that we've forgotten about, a civilization that existed millions of years ago. When their time came, they left this world and another race was born, the race of human beings. ~ Frederick Lenz
Tibetian Buddhism quotes by Frederick Lenz
In the process of burning out these confusions, we discover enlightenment. If the process were otherwise, the awakened state of mind would be a product dependent upon cause and effect and therefore liable to dissolution. Anything which is created must, sooner or later, die. If enlightenment were created in such a way, there would always be a possibility of ego reasserting itself, causing a return to the confused state. Enlightenment is permanent because we have not produced it; we have merely discovered it. ~ Chogyam Trungpa
Tibetian Buddhism quotes by Chogyam Trungpa
Universes collide and conjoin inside us and beyond all is nirvana, the final, absolute resting place of the soul. ~ Frederick Lenz
Tibetian Buddhism quotes by Frederick Lenz
Reason is a terrible trap because you will be satisfied with answers. And if you are satisfied with answers, you'll never come to know what life really is. ~ Frederick Lenz
Tibetian Buddhism quotes by Frederick Lenz
Absent a sense of the preciousness of one's own life, why respect the life of anyone else? ~ Kentetsu Takamori
Tibetian Buddhism quotes by Kentetsu Takamori
The aura of billions of people coats all experiences like a thick cloud of smog. Just to live on the earth is to live in that smog. ~ Frederick Lenz
Tibetian Buddhism quotes by Frederick Lenz
There are many different places of power around the world. They're invisible openings to other worlds. We find a preponderance of these places in the Himalayas, in the western part of the United States; of course, in every country of the world there are some. ~ Frederick Lenz
Tibetian Buddhism quotes by Frederick Lenz
Oh, noble child, everything is severing the mind. As for the mind, it is severing pride. There is nothing whatsoever that is not included in pride. If one simply understands that it is merely the production of pride, then, for example, one is like a thief in an empty house: by simply recognizing [the situation], grasping is impossible. Having correctly understood, there is no practice with an intentional objective. Because it crushes any hesitations (mi phod), it is explained as Chöd. ~ Machik Labdrön
Tibetian Buddhism quotes by Machik Labdrön
Sring is the mantra of beauty. Traditionally it is connected with Lakshmi, the Indian goddess of beauty. Chant "Sring" slowly, elongating each sound. As you do, you will see the consciousness of beauty of everywhere. ~ Frederick Lenz
Tibetian Buddhism quotes by Frederick Lenz
One man's bad day is another man's good night. ~ Mokokoma Mokhonoana
Tibetian Buddhism quotes by Mokokoma Mokhonoana
Since religion intrinsically rejects empirical methods, there should never be any attempt to reconcile scientific theories with religion. [An infinitely old universe, always evolving may not be compatible with the Book of Genesis. However, religions such as Buddhism get along without having any explicit creation mythology and are in no way contradicted by a universe without a beginning or end.] Creatio ex nihilo, even as religious doctrine, only dates to around AD 200. The key is not to confuse myth and empirical results, or religion and science. ~ Hannes Alfven
Tibetian Buddhism quotes by Hannes Alfven
I don't dictate particular styles of dress. I do teach classes in self discovery. ~ Frederick Lenz
Tibetian Buddhism quotes by Frederick Lenz
In our world, in our pre-World War III condition, meditation is considered a cult activity and people who practice self-discovery are actually persecuted and ridiculed. ~ Frederick Lenz
Tibetian Buddhism quotes by Frederick Lenz
Searching outside of you is Samsara (the world). Searching within you leads to Nirvana. ~ Amit Ray
Tibetian Buddhism quotes by Amit Ray
I can assure you, as a practitioner of Buddhism, that there are ten thousand states of mind, at least, give or take a few billion. ~ Frederick Lenz
Tibetian Buddhism quotes by Frederick Lenz
To be wise doesn't always mean to have a wrinkled face and sparkly eyes. To be wise means to be still inside. ~ Frederick Lenz
Tibetian Buddhism quotes by Frederick Lenz
Unfortunately the student often feels guilt for not living the type of life that their Teacher suggested, or they feel that they are intrinsically bad and incapable of leading a higher life. ~ Frederick Lenz
