Quote by Dalai Lama XIV

“There is no realm in samsara where we have not taken birth, no samsaric pleasure we have not enjoyed, and no form of life we have not known over our countless stream of previous lives. Yet even now as humans most of us are like blind animals, unable to discern the patterns of life unfolding within us, leaving spiritual aims behind and chasing only the biological and emotional needs of the senses. Totally unaware of the spiritual methods that produce everlasting joy, we admire the ignoble and have distaste for the noble.”

“Ausruhmantra Wir sind zerbrochen, das macht uns knackig. Wir sind begraben, das macht uns geduldig. Wir sind vergessen, das macht uns unzerstörbar. Wir sind besiegt, das macht uns klüger. Wir sind eine Art Staub, und eine Art Gold, und eine Art Hoffnung, und eine Art Irrtum. Wir sind über und über mit winzigen Fehlern bedeckt, uns wer uns unter all diesen Fehlern dennoch erkenn kann, gehört zu uns.”
