from The Path to Enlightenment by His Holiness the Dalai Lama On the other hand, when the mind can dwell in the wisdom that knows the ultimate mode of being, one is able to destroy the deepest root of distortion, negative karma and sorrow. These imperfect states of mind in turn give rise to imperfect activities, and the seeds of suffering are ever planted in a steady flow. Unless we possess high spiritual qualifications, there is no doubt that the events life throws upon us will give rise to frustration, emotional turmoil, and other distorted states of consciousness.
How can we eliminate the deepest source of all unsatisfactory experience? Only by cultivating certain qualities within our mindstream.(On why Tibet receives little attention from the rest of the world) "Tibet is not like Kuwait.By learning from science about aspects of reality where its understanding may be more advanced, I believe that Buddhism enriches its own worldview."
In my view, science and Buddhism share a search for the truth and for understanding reality.
"If you want others to be happy, practice compassion.How much am I doing about my anger? About my attachment, about my hatred, about my pride, my jealousy? These are the things which we must check in daily life." "The very purpose of religion is to control yourself, not to criticise others.the important thing is they should be part of our daily lives." "All major religious traditions carry basically the same message, that is love, compassion and forgiveness.Our own brain, our own heart is our temple the philosophy is kindness." There is no need for temples no need for complicated philosophy. "I am a simple Buddhist monk - no more, no less."."In the practice of tolerance, one's enemy is the best teacher.".from Generous Wisdom: Commentaries by H.H. Likewise, there are certain states of mind that bring us peace and happiness, and we need to cultivate and enhance them. In other words, there are certain states of mind which bring us problems, and they can be removed we need to make an effort in that direction. Therefore, in our daily life a certain way of thinking makes us happy, and a certain way of thinking makes us unhappy. On the other hand, we find people who live like beggars but who always remain peaceful and happy. As we can see, there are many people who have wealth and power who remain unhappy, due to which their health declines, and they are always taking medicines. But we also need to seek inner development. It is justified for us to make material and financial development for building our nation and providing shelter, etc. Money and power facilitate, but it is clear that they are not the primary causes of, happiness and solving our problems. If that were so, it would follow that those who have wealth would necessarily have happiness, and those who do not have wealth would always experience suffering. We feel money and power can bring happiness and solve problems, but they are not definite causes of those desired states.
