What Is The Purpose Of Life? I

When We Are Angry We Are Blind To Reality. Anger May Bring Us A Temporary Burst Of Energy, But That Energy Is Blind And It Blocks The Part Of Our Brain That Distinguishes Right From Wrong. To Deal With Our Problems, We Need To Be Practical And Realistic. If We Are To Be Realistic, We Need To Use Our Human Intelligence Properly, Which Means We Need A Calm Mind.

Inner Darkness, Which We Call Ignorance, Is The Root Of Suffering. The More Inner Light That Comes, The More Darkness Will Diminish. This Is The Only Way To Achieve Salvation Or Nirvana.

All Major Religious Traditions Carry Basically The Same Message, That Is Love, Compassion And Forgiveness The Important Thing Is They Should Be Part Of Our Daily Lives.

Im A Tibetan Monk, Not A Vegetarian.

I Always Emphasize That It Is Much Safer And Better To Keep One's Own Religious Faith. The Other Major Religions Are Thousands Of Years Old And Have Long Traditions.
