Religion of the future

"The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. It should transcend personal God and avoid dogma and theology. Covering both the natural and the spiritual, it should be based on a religious sense arising from the experience of all things natural and spiritual as a meaningful unity. Buddhism answers this description. If there is any religion that could cope with modern scientific needs it would be Buddhism." -Albert Einstein

The ultimate teacher

"The ultimate teacher, the absolute, is never separate from us,
Yet immature beings, not recognizing this, look outside and seek him far away,
Sole father, with your immense love you have shown me my
own wealth;
I, who was a pauper, constantly feel your presence in the depth of my heart.

Wisdom-teacher pervading all the World and beings, samsara
and nirvana,
You show how all phenomena can arise as teachings,
Convincing me that everything is the absolute teacher;
I long for ultimate realization and feel your presence in the
depth of my heart."

- Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche -
