If we learn how to use it—and this is the goal of the search for enlightenment—it can transform not only ourselves but the world around us. Has there ever been a time when the clear use of this sacred power was more essential or more urgent? Has there ever been a time when it was more vital to understand the nature of this pure power and how to channel it and how to use it for the sake of the world?”

The Dharma is so powerful how it tends to encompass all religions and ideals. The ultimate goal of any religion is to generate more compassion and better understanding in this world. Hopefully this understanding can translate into a better relationship with all of our problems as we see them. Shed some light into the truth of the added suffering we place on our problems that turn them into something worse than they are already. If you get a chance read a book called “Living Buddha Living Christ” by Thich Nhat Hanh. This book helped me break down the barriers that we seem to have between religions. In this book he describes the similarities between Christianity and Buddhism closely. The teachings of Christ and the similarities with teachings of the Dharma.
