Today’s quote is yet another from His Holiness the Dalai Lama, whom I first quoted and wrote a short biography for in this post. This is it — from the Insight from the Dalai Lama 2011 Calendar:

If the Buddhist path were simply a matter of faith and cultivating a deep devotion to the Buddha, there would have been no need for him to explain the nature of reality in such technical and complex terms.
