Home | Religion & Spirituality | New Age Whether we are rich or poor, educated or uneducated, whatever our nationality, color, social status, or ideology may be, the purpose of our lives is to be happy. Not to identify oneself with something, or to associate things with the me, and to see that the idea that there is a me which is distinct from things is a delusion that is true wisdom. Spend some time alone every day. In our struggle for freedom, truth is the only weapon we possess. The creatures that inhabit this earth be they human beings or animals are here to contribute, each in its own particular way, to the beauty and prosperity of the world. Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly. There is a saying in Tibetan, Tragedy should be utilized as a source of strength. No matter what sort of difficulties, how painful experience is, if we lose our hope, that's our real disaster. When ever Buddhism has taken root in a new land, there has been a certain variation in the style in which it is observed. The Buddha himself taught differently according to the place, the occasion and the situation of those who were listening to him. To conquer oneself is a greater victory than to conquer thousands in a battle. One who is caught in thought loses ones original nature. All he knows are words and descriptions, when he sees the actual thing, he fails to perceive it. A good friend who points out mistakes and imperfections and rebukes evil is to be respected as if he reveals the secret of some hidden treasure. It is easy to point out the mistakes of others, while it is hard to admit ones own mistakes. A man broadcasts the sins of others without thinking, but he hides his own sins as a gambler hides his extra dice. Peace and the survival of life on earth as we know it are threatened by human activities that lack a commitment to humanitarian values. Every man has the basis of good. Not only human beings, you can find it among animals and insects, for instance, when we treat a dog or horse lovingly. Dont try to use what you learn from Buddhism to be a Buddhist; use it to be a better whateveryoualreadyare. Article Source: http://www.articlewheel.com
