Religion’s Purpose
“The purpose of religion is to control yourself, not to criticize others. How much am I doing about my anger, attachment, hatred, pride and jealousy? These are the things we must check in our daily lives.”
~The Dalai Lama ~
In your heart, not your jeans.
Namasté:
“I honor the place in you where Spirit lives
I honor the place in you which is
of Love, of Truth, of Light, of Peace,
when you are in that place in you,
and I am in that place in me,
then we are One.” ? Namasté
– Hindu Greeting
“Religion’s role is to turn human beings toward goodness and resolve their conflicting nature that finds enjoyment in fighting. Examine the major religions of the world. They all hold a peaceful world as their ideal. They all want to see a kingdom of heaven, utopia, or paradise. Religions have different names for this ideal, but they all seek such a world.”
~Sun Myung Moon ~
