“Peace is not just the absence of war, it is the active presence of a capacity for love and compassion, and reciprocity. It is an awareness that our lives are not to be lived simply for ourselves through expressing our individuality, but we confirm the purpose of our lives through the work of expressing our shared sense of community in a purposeful and practical way; to sustain our own lives we sustain the lives of others - in family, in a community of neighborhoods called a city, and in a community of nations called the world.” WorldWayWarPurposeNationsPeaceCommunityCitiesCompassionOur LivesAwarenessCapacityIndividualityActiveAbsencePracticalsNeighborhoodLives Of OthersReciprocityNonconformityLove And Compassion Author:Dennis Kucinich

In this sense, there is no need for temple or church, for mosque or synagogue, no need for complicated philosophy, doctrine, or dogma. Our own heart, our own mind, is the temple. The doctrine is compassion. Love for others and respect for their rights and dignity, no matter who or what they are: ultimately these are all we need.” LoveNeedsMindHeartMatterPhilosophyChurchSimpleCompassionRightsDignityComplicatedDoctrineIdeologyTemplesRejectsDogmaLove And CompassionMosquesTrue ReligionSynagogueCompassion For OthersSimple Faith Author:Dalai Lama
