And every object in nature will repeat to them His precious lessons.

Christianity gave man what his imagination desires, but for that very reason failed to give him what he really and truly desires.

Christ's divinity accounts for His exaltation to the right hand of God, justifies the worship of angels and the confidence of mankind.

Christ said "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself" and when asked "who is thy neighbour? went on to the parable of the Good Samaritan.

Compassion is a chameleon: it can wear the face of fear, anger, sadness, joy or even dispassion, depending on what's needed at the time. The compassionate Buddha has a smile in one eye and a tear in the other, and our Buddha mission is to lead people to true freedom, not to hold their hand and tell them that everything is going to be all right. In teaching, compassion means doing whatever needs to be done to get to the next phase.
