A Thought from His Holiness the Dalai Lama
by Danny Fisher
This from my “Insight from the Dalai Lama” day calendar yesterday:
- Whenever Buddhism has taken root in a new land there has always been a certain variation in the style in which it is observed. The Buddha himself taught differently according to the place, the occasion, and the situation of those who were listening to him. So, all of us have the great responsibility to take the essence of Buddhism and put it into practice in our own lives.

Ha! I have the same calendar – my dad bought it for me for Christmas as a sort of isn’t-this-vaguely-your-kind-of-thing? present. So far it’s been the Dalai Lama’s ‘Hallmark’ collection, but I must say I did like this one.
Maybe the insights will get more challenging as the days pass!
Cheers Danny. I always appreciate the blog.
