“You are intelligent; you know that material objects alone cannot bring you satisfaction, but you don’t have to embark on some emotional, religious trip to examine your own mind.

Some people think that they do; that this kind of self-analysis is something spiritual or religious.

It’s not necessary to classify yourself as a follower of this or that religion or philosophy, to put yourself into some religious category.

But if you want to be happy, you have to check the way you lead your life. Your mind is your religion.”

- Lama Yeshe (1935–1984)
