At that time, he was living in exile in the United Kingdom, having fled his native Tibet in the 1950s. This quote reflects his efforts to promote unity and understanding among the various Buddhist traditions, which were often fragmented and in conflict.\n\n**The Hidden Insight**\nThe hidden insight in this quote lies in its acknowledgment of the value of diversity within the Buddhist tradition. Geshe Kelsang Gyatso is pointing out that the various forms of Buddhism, such as Zen and Theravada, are not mutually exclusive or inferior to one another, but rather, they represent different facets of the Buddha's teachings. This paradox highlights the tension between the desire for unity and the recognition of diversity, and challenges the reader to reconcile these seemingly opposing forces.\n\n**How to Use This**\nIn today's professional and creative landscapes, where diversity and inclusivity are increasingly valued, this quote offers a powerful strategy for navigating the complexities of difference. By embracing the diversity of approaches and perspectives within your field or community, you can tap into the collective wisdom and creativity that arises from the intersection of different traditions and approaches.",{"id":42,"quote_text":43,"author_id":5,"source_id":17,"has_image":18,"author":44,"source":45,"quote_tag":46,"commentary":9},3050855,"Buddha’s teachings are scientific methods to solve the problems of all living beings permanently.",{"id":5,"author_name":6,"slug":10,"author_name_first_letter":7,"article_count":8,"image_url":9},{},[],{"id":48,"quote_text":49,"author_id":5,"source_id":17,"has_image":18,"author":50,"source":51,"quote_tag":52,"commentary":9},3050854,"We should understand that our problems do not exist outside of ourself, but are part of our mind that experiences unpleasant feelings.",{"id":5,"author_name":6,"slug":10,"author_name_first_letter":7,"article_count":8,"image_url":9},{},[],{"id":54,"quote_text":55,"author_id":5,"source_id":17,"has_image":18,"author":56,"source":57,"quote_tag":58,"commentary":9},3050853,"Faith is like pure eyes that enable us to see a pure and perfect world beyond the suffering world of samsara.",{"id":5,"author_name":6,"slug":10,"author_name_first_letter":7,"article_count":8,"image_url":9},{},[],{"id":60,"quote_text":61,"author_id":5,"source_id":17,"has_image":18,"author":62,"source":63,"quote_tag":64,"commentary":9},3050852,"If everyone practiced cherishing others, many of the major problems of the world would be solved in a few years.",{"id":5,"author_name":6,"slug":10,"author_name_first_letter":7,"article_count":8,"image_url":9},{},[],{"id":66,"quote_text":67,"author_id":5,"source_id":17,"has_image":18,"author":68,"source":69,"quote_tag":70,"commentary":9},3050851,"Listening is a lamp that dispels the darkness of ignorance.",{"id":5,"author_name":6,"slug":10,"author_name_first_letter":7,"article_count":8,"image_url":9},{},[],{"id":72,"quote_text":73,"author_id":5,"source_id":17,"has_image":18,"author":74,"source":75,"quote_tag":76,"commentary":9},3050850,"By meditating on affectionate love and wishing love for just one moment we accumulate greater merit than we would by giving food three times every day to all those who are hungry in the world.",{"id":5,"author_name":6,"slug":10,"author_name_first_letter":7,"article_count":8,"image_url":9},{},[],{"currentPage":78,"totalPages":79,"totalItems":8,"itemsPerPage":80},1,7,10]
