Don't Use Buddhism To Become

The Immediate Source Of A Mind... Must Be A Mind Which Existed Before The Conception Took Place; The Mind Must Have A Continuity From A Previous Mind. This We Hold To Prove The Existence Of A Past Life.

If We Had To Accept The Idea Of An Independent Creator, The Explanations Given In [several Buddhist Texts] Which Completely Refutes The Existence Per Se Of All Phenomena, Would Be Negated.

Whether It Is Under The Guise Of Survival And Self-defence Or Directly Expressed Through Dominion And Greed, The Failure To Recognize The Common Humanity Shared By Us All Lies At The Heart Of Our Difficulties. To Overcome It, We Should Begin To Develop, From The Level Of The Individual Through That Of Society To The World At Large, What I Call A Sense Of Universal Responsibility; A Deep Respect For Every Living Being Who Lives On This One Small Planet And Calls It Home.

When You Practice Gratefulness, There Is A Sense Of Respect Toward Others.

We Have A Responsibility To Look After Our Planet. It Is Our Only Home.
