Dalai Lama : (5) " 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 important thing is that men should have a purpose in life. It should be something useful, something good. " - Dalai Lama " The basic Buddhist stand on the question of equality between the genders is age-old. At the highest tantric levels, at the highest esoteric level, you must respect women: every woman. " - Dalai Lama " Whether one believes in a religion or not, and whether one believes in rebirth or not, there isn’t anyone who doesn’t appreciate kindness and compassion. " - Dalai Lama " There is no need for temples, no need for complicated philosophies. My brain and my heart are my temples; my philosophy is kindness. " - Dalai Lama
