Dogma

"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." Dalai Lama

I feel like this is the simplest and truest of all religious ideology I've heard. God forbid I post it on my Facebook page as I would be surely inundated with emails and comments from the religious right and Bible-bashers. I never quite understood why what should be the most allowing, accepting and all-encompassing of our moral philosophies (i.e our religion) usually inspires the greatest intolerance, ignorance and hatred of and by our fellow man.
