Spirituality

I found this quote and thought it important because fundamentalism (no matter what the religion) is quickly spreading and quickly becoming devisive: us vs them. "If you're not with me, you're with the terrorists." We need to remember that we are all connected. . . .but His Holiness says it better than I can:

My call for a spiritual revolution is thus not a call for a religious revolution. Nor is it a reference to a way of life that is somehow other-worldly, still less to something magical or mysterious. Rather, it is a call for a radical re-orientation away from our habitual preoccupation with self towards concern for the wider community of beings with whom we are connected, and for conduct which recognizes others’ interests alongside our own.-

His Holiness the Dalai Lama
