“Once the idea of a supernaturalistic creation is fully overcome, the idea returns that the universe must be self-organizing and therefore composed of self-moving parts. Also, insofar as dualistic assumptions are fully overcome and human experience is accepted as fully natural, it begins to seem probable that something analogous to our experience and self-movement is a feature of every level of nature.” HumansIdeasSelfSeemsMovingUniverseNaturalLevelsMovementCreationReturnOvercomingAcceptedFeaturesAssumptionHuman ExperienceMoving Parts Book:God and Religion in the Postmodern World: Essays in Postmodern Theology Source: God and Religion in the Postmodern World: Essays in Postmodern Theology
“Sensory experience does not offset the intense pain or pleasure we feel on a mental level; it may distract us, but doesn't overcome it. On the other hand, if we have peace of mind, even negative experiences do not upset us. Peace of mind is also good for our physical health. Medical experts have found that anger, hatred and fear eat into our immune system. Being calm and relaxed is better for our physical well-being.” IfsFeelsMindWellsMayDoeHandsPainFoundPleasureLevelsNegativeHatredOvercomingCalmMedicalIntenseWell BeingUpsetExpertsPeace Of MindSpiritual WisdomRelaxedCalmnessImmuneSensoryImmune SystemPhysical HealthStay CalmJoy And PainNegative ExperiencesIntense Pain Author:Dalai Lama

“Having emotional connections to things that don't really exist, like looking at a green ball and really loving that green ball, and being sad whether it's around or not. Stuff like that.

“Whether it is under the guise of survival and self-defence or directly expressed through dominion and greed, the failure to recognize the common humanity shared by us all lies at the heart of our difficulties. To overcome it, we should begin to develop, from the level of the individual through that of society to the world at large, what I call a sense of universal responsibility; a deep respect for every living being who lives on this one small planet and calls it home.” WorldShouldHeartSelfHomeLyingHumanityIndividualLevelsCommonResponsibilityPlanetsSurvivalOvercomingUniversalDifficultyGreedDefenceDominionGuiseCommon HumanitySelf Defence Author:Dalai Lama

“Holidays are in no sense an alternative to the congestion and bustle of the cities and work. Quite the contrary. People look to escape into an intensification of the conditions of ordinary life, into a deliberate aggravation of those conditions: further from nature, nearer to artifice, to abstraction, to total pollution, to well above average levels of stress, pressure, concentration and monotony - this is the ideal of popular entertainment. No one is interested in overcoming alienation; the point is to plunge into it to the point of ecstasy.
