Quotes from His Holiness during the first days of Jangchup Lamrim Teachings:
“All religions are equal in emphasising [qualities of] loving-kindness and compassion. All these religions are not only important but also essential.”
“The Buddha laid the foundation of all Buddhist teachings through the teachings of the Four Noble Truths – the first turning of the wheel of Dharma.”
“Mental happiness is a basic necessity for all, irrespective of whether one accepts religion or not. It is not an exclusive privilege of only those who accept religion.”
“If one is kind-hearted, even animals will respond with love.”
