Practical Advice from Lama Yeshe

Together we can reach conclusions without involving the dogma of philosophy, the dogma of religion, the dogma of nationality, the dogma of racism; we can come together without any kind of dogma.

That is beautiful. That is the beauty of the human being—to bring human unity and understanding without being blinded by categories.


—Lama Yeshe
