I Am Simply Just One Monk. That's

There Is Nothing I Can't Live Without. I Learned This Attitude When I Was A Child.

We Need To Learn How To Want What We Have Not To Have What We Want In Order To Get Steady And Stable Happiness

We Can Reject Everything Else: Religion, Ideology, All Received Wisdom. But We Cannot Escape The Necessity Of Love And Compassion. This, Then, Is My True Religion, My Simple Faith. 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.

So Long As We Are Under The Control Of Disturbing Emotions, Real Happiness Is Hard To Find.

Compassion And Tolerance Are Not A Sign Of Weakness, But A Sign Of Strength.
