The Dalai Lama said, “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. My religion is kindness.”
From Buddha: “Be kind to all creatures. This is true religion.”
And overheard: “I’d rather run my own race and be kind, despite disapproval, than be part of a pack of haters.”
You know, it’s so important to find your own footing when it comes to spirituality. Whether that comes from your childhood religious practices, or diverges 180 degrees from the rest of your clan. Finding what is true for you is an all-important, sometimes long and winding, journey. In fact, exploring diverse spiritualties along the way can be among the most powerful experiences of your life.
This Thanksgiving, consider this: Tune in to your wisest, kindest, self…let that guide you…and observe what happens.
