Quotations
Religion
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
The more I study religions the more I am convinced that man never worshiped anything but himself.

What is religion? The science of mind and life. Who are Buddha, Krishna and
Christ? The doctors of our mind and life.
