''Look in our world. Global warming, Tibet's glorious mountains being shaved of it's snow, evil Irish people killing fellow humans. How has the world come to this? The world has come to killing each other? Quickly like a candle flame or slowly like a mountain, even the most strongest things move, change. They have no truly permanent essence. This is not our way. The goal of Buddhism is a state of lasting, unconditional happiness known as enlightenment. Buddhism inspires us to take responsibility for our own lives problems and doing, without moralizing, by understanding cause and effect (karma). Karma happens, to even the Dalai Lama, and even to Buddha. Through Buddhist meditation, we can think and reflect on our doings to enhance our views globally. We also eventually grow compassion. Enlightenment is the goal, the end game. All positive qualities — especially joy, fearlessness, and compassion — are now soon to be perfected. Here, our awareness is all-encompassing, and not limited in any way. With no confusion or disturbance in our minds, we benefit others spontaneously and effortlessly | ''Look in our world.
