“One thing that Buddhism teaches you is that every moment is an opportunity to change.”
Ron Reagan
“If there is any religion that could respond to the needs of modern science, it would be Buddhism.”
Albert Einstein
“Buddhism holds that everything is in constant flux. Thus the question is whether we are to accept change passively and be swept away by it or whether we are to take the lead and create positive changes on our own initiative. While conservatism and self-protection might be likened to winter, night, and death, the spirit of pioneering and attempting to realize ideals evokes images of spring, morning, and birth.”
Daisaku Ikeda
“Buddhism has the characteristics of what would be expected in a cosmic religion for the future: It transcends a personal God, avoids dogmas and theology; it covers both the natural and the spiritual, and it is based on a religious sense aspiring from the experience of all things, natural and spiritual, as a meaningful unity.”
“You only lose what you cling to.”
Buddha
“The essence of Buddhism is if you can, help others. If not, then at least refrain from hurting others.”
Tenzin Gyatso The 14th Dalai Lama
“The main difference between us, Buddhism and other philosophies, is that we do not accept the notion of a living god, but rather that we are responsible for our future happiness.”
