A Thought from His Holiness the Dalai Lama
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.
