“Motivation is very important, and thus my simple religion is love, respect for others, honesty: teachings that cover not only religion but also the fields of politics, economics, business, science, law, medicine-everywhere. With proper motivation these can help humanity…Without good motivation, science and technology, instead of helping, bring more fear and threaten global destruction. Compassionate thought is very important for human kind. ”

H.H. Dalai Lama
