Do you become spiritual by performing ceremonies and rituals…? Ceremonies and rituals sometimes give a certain sensation, so-called uplift. But they are repetitious, and every sensation that is repeated soon wearies of itself.
-J. Krishnamurti "J. Krishnamurti"
The religious scriptures are thousands of years old. Don't know since when
they have been engaged in the upliftment of mankind. But still, considering the
enormity of the pains and problems of human beings, they have been proved
miserable failures. Now, it is high time...that new ways of thinking be adopted.
-Deep Trivedi
The whole purpose of religion is to facilitate love and compassion, patience, tolerance, humility, and forgiveness.
-Dalai Lama Xiv
To hate man and love god seems to be the sum of all creeds.
-Robert G. Ingersoll
This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.
-Dalai Lama
