Food For Thought

“Study and practice are both very important, but they must go hand in hand. Faith without knowledge is not sufficient. Faith needs to be supported by reason. However intellectual understanding that is not applied in practice is also of little use. Whatever we learn from study we need to apply sincerely in our daily lives.” ~~ The Dalai Lama

“The nature of the mind is such that if certain mental qualities are developed on a sound basis, they not only remain, but they also increase. In fact, once properly developed, the mind’s good qualities eventually increase indefinitely. Therefore spiritual practice brings us long-term happiness and inner strength.” ~~ The Dalai Lama

“Let us cultivate love and compassion, both of which give life true meaning. This is the religion I preach. It is simple. Its temple is the heart. Its teaching is love and compassion. Its moral values are loving and respecting others, whoever they may be. Whether one is a lay person or a monastic, we have no other option if we wish to survive in this world.” ~~ The Dalai Lama

“The problems of the world will not be solved by the governments of the world. That’s not to say that governments don’t have a profound role to play, because they do. But government is contrained by the inauthentic level of conversation that prevails within it, therefore it will be changes within people’s hearts that drive the changes in government and society rather than changes in government and society that drive change inside people’s hearts.”  ~~ Marianne Williamson
