For a person who is very much involved with the institution of religion but has lost the religious spirit, the 'religion' label is the real threat to liberty.
From Lobsang Tenzin
A religion must be instrumental in spiritualising the individual into a boundless and holistic nature.
Faith and reason overpower each other throughout one's life, which results in contradiction, but the conflict never ceases in any sphere.
The line of demarcation between history and legend is too thin to observe while writing; the two overlap each other unconsciously and unknowingly.
You need not search for the compassionate mind from outside. To know yourself, to know your nature, your mind will automatically be the compassionate one.
Do not lose your independent mind, unconditioned mind. You have by nature a very powerful mind. You can find everything for yourself; you can know everything for yourself.
To learn means by practice, by inquiring, by analyzing to find out what is, not what was.
Today, education does not give you the wisdom and the understanding; it only indoctrinates you to believe something. So the mind knows very less but accepts so many things; it may be science, it may be technology, it may be anything.
Non-violence is the essence of the entire Buddha's teaching, and the practice of non-violence is the entire essence of the practice of Buddha dharma, Buddhist spirituality, in one's life.
Every religion or every philosophy is an outcome of the human search for liberation.
