His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso
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.

The Brain: Sky, Sea, and God
Emily Dickinson's The Brain is Wider Than the Sky
The brain is wider than the sky,
For, put them, side by side,
The one the other will include
With ease, and you beside.
The brain is deeper than the sea,
For, hold them, blue to blue
The one the other will absorb,
As sponges, buckets do.
The brain is just the weight of God,
For, lift them, pound for pound,
And they will differ, if they do,
As syllable from sound.
