"love is the answer, at least for most of the questions of my heart..."
--Jack Johnson
Who are you to judge the life I live?
I know I’m not perfect-- and I don’t live to be.
But before you start pointing fingers..make sure your hands are clean.
--Bob Marley.
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
"In our country, we speak of something called ubuuntu. When i want to praise you, the highest praise I can give you is to say, you have ubuuntu--this peron has what it takes to be a human being. This is a person who recognizes that he only exists becuase others exist: a person is a person through other persons. When we say you have ubuuntu, we mean you are gentle, you are compassionate, you are hospitable, you want to share, and you care about the welfare of others. The is because my humanity is caught up in your humanity. So when i dehumanize others, whether i like it or not, inexorably, i dehumanize myself. For we can only be human, we can only be free, together. To forgive is actually the best form of self-interest."
--The Wisdom of Forgiveness by the Dalai Lama
"Deluded by modern western civilization, we have forgotten our ancient civilization and worship the might of arms. We forgot the principle of non-violence, which is the essence of all religions. The doctrine of arms stands for irreligion."
--On Satyagraha by Gandhi
