Developing compassion and wisdom and helping those in need is the true meaning of life.
Geshe Kelsang GyatsoA Temple is one of the best ways of benefiting other living beings - it is the best form of public service.
Geshe Kelsang GyatsoThis impure world that we presently experience exists only in relation to our impure mind.
Geshe Kelsang GyatsoWithout inner peace, outer peace is impossible. We all wish for world peace, but world peace will never be acheived unless we first establish peace within our own minds. We can send so-called 'peacekeeping forces' into areas of conflict, but peace cannot be oppossed from the outside with guns. Only by creating peace within our own mind and helping others to do the same can we hope to achieve peace in this world.
