“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; the philosophy is kindness.” His Holiness the Dalai Lama
They often say that God is best found in a church or a temple.
I disagree.
There is no monopoly in the temples.
God has presence that reaches beyond the walls.
They often say that their's is the only way.
I disagree.
Philosophy is subjective.
God understands all languages.
They often put their religion before kindness.
I disagree.
God is kindness.
And kindness is the universal tie that binds us all together.
Be kind today.

Sara, I agree. I really do agree. God is found in a temple, but not a physical one.. the temple that is inside a kind heart.. that's where God is. The kind heart that helps a person.. becomes God for that person.
