The Dalai Lama: Our Own Heart, Our Own Mind, Is the Temple


We can reject everything else:
religion, ideology, all received wisdom.
But we cannot escape the necessity of love and compassion.
This, then, is my true religion, my simple faith...
Our own heart, our own mind, is the temple.
The doctrine is compassion.

- Dalai Lama, Ethics for the New Millennium
