Balanced Life ~ 17th Karmapa
http://justdharma.com/s/kxdeq

Your own interests and your own life will be balanced only when they include both the well-being of yourself and others. Any wholesome undertaking necessarily includes a desire to benefit others. If an undertaking is egocentric and full of self-cherishing, then that balance will be extremely difficult to find and maintain.

Not a religion in the usual sense ~ Lama Yeshe
http://justdharma.com/s/5ia8y

When we study Buddhism, we are studying ourselves — the nature of our own minds. Instead of focusing on some supreme being, Buddhism emphasizes more practical matters, such as how to lead our lives, how to integrate our minds and how to keep our everyday lives peaceful and healthy. Buddhism accentuates experiential knowledge — in other words, wisdom rather than some dogmatic view. In fact, we don’t even consider Buddhism to be a religion in the usual sense of the term. From the lamas' point of view, Buddhist teachings are more in the realm of philosophy, science or psychology.

Just observe it ~ Mingyur Rinpoche

"Of ONE essence is the human race."

: All the violence and conflict in the world seed from an emphasis on secondary level differences, such as “my nation” and “their nation”, “my religion” and “their religion,” creating a strong concept of "we" and "they"...but these secondary differences neglect the basic oneness of humanity. Imagine if education focused on teaching children that, at our core, we all want the same things, such as to be loved, to belong, to feel peace, to be happy...
