“Neste ciclo do tempo, no qual profundas purificações estão acontecendo e diferentes frequências de energias estão se propagando por todos os cantos da Terra, é possível que sentimentos como tristeza, medo, ansiedade e pânico visitem sua mente. A mente é um fluxo de pensamentos que, ao entrar em contato com o corpo, se transforma em sentimentos e emoções. E a chave para não entrar nesse sofrimento é ancorar a presença pois aqui, agora, não há sofrimento e é possível até mesmo observá-lo sem se apegar a ele.”
“En este ciclo del tiempo en el que profundas purificaciones están
sucediendo y diferentes frecuencias de energías se están extendiendo a
todos los rincones de la Tierra, es posible que sentimientos como
tristeza, miedo, ansiedad y pánico visiten tu mente. La mente es un
flujo de pensamientos que, al entrar en contacto con el cuerpo, se
transforman en sentimientos y emociones. Y la llave para no entrar en
ese sufrimiento es anclar la presencia pues aquí, ahora, no hay
sufrimiento e incluso es posible observarlo sin apegarse a él.”
“During this cycle of time, there are deep purifications taking place, and different frequencies of energy are spreading throughout every corner of the planet. It is possible that feelings such as sadness, fear, anxiety and panic may pass through our minds. The mind consists of a flow of thoughts, and as these thoughts come into contact with the body, they become feelings and emotions. The key to not falling into suffering as a result of these sensations is to anchor presence, because here and now there is no suffering. In a state of presence, it is possible even to observe these feelings and not get attached to them.”

“Religião, no seu aspecto mais profundo, é um caminho de volta para
casa; é o que proporciona a experiência da Unidade. A palavra religião
vem do latim religare, a religação da alma individual com o Absoluto.
Nesse sentido, religião é sinônimo de yoga que significa união. Porém, a
mente humana se apropriou desse conhecimento e aquilo que deveria ser o
caminho de volta para a casa tem sido um caminho que nos leva ao aprisionamento. Portanto é importante saber discernir o que te liberta e o que te aprisiona.”

embargo, la mente humana se apropió de este conocimiento y aquello que

que te libera y lo que te aprisiona.”
“At its most profound essence, religion is a path that leads back home. It is what allows for the experience of oneness. The word ‘religion’ comes from the Latin word ‘religare,’ which is the reconnection of the individual soul with the Absolute. In this sense, religion is synonymous with yoga, which means union. Over time, however, the human mind appropriated this knowledge and has actually turned religion into a path that leads us to imprisonment instead of leading us back home. It's vital for us to discern between what sets us free and what imprisons us.”

“Até um determinado estágio do processo de autodesenvolvimento o ego se
sente seguro, forte, e acredita estar no controle do destino. Nos casos
em que o ego ainda está enfraquecido, ele precisa primeiro se
fortalecer e acreditar que tem poder. Esse processo de cristalização do
ego ocorre até que ele possa dar um passo adiante e perceber que ele tem
um certo poder, mas é extremamente limitado. Nesse momento normalmente o
ego entra em crise porque quer continuar acreditando que controla. Mas,
para continuar o processo evolutivo, ele precisa se libertar dessa
crença.”
“Hasta una
determinado estadio del proceso de auto-desarrollo, el ego se siente
seguro, fuerte, y cree controlar el destino. En los casos en que el ego
todavía está debilitado, primero necesita fortalecerse y creer que tiene
poder. Este proceso de cristalización del ego ocurre hasta que pueda
dar un paso adelante y darse cuenta de que tiene cierto poder, pero que
es extremadamente limitado. En este momento normalmente el ego entra en
crisis porque quiere seguir creyendo que controla. Pero para continuar
el proceso evolutivo, necesita liberarse de esta creencia.”
“Up until a certain stage in the process of self-development, the ego feels secure, strong and believes itself to be in control of its destiny. In certain cases where the ego is still weak, it first needs to become stronger and believe that it has power. This process of crystallizing the ego goes on until it can take one more step forward and perceive that it does have a certain power, yet it is extremely limited. At this point, the ego usually enters into a crisis because it continues wanting to believe that it is in control. But, in order to continue in the process of evolution, the ego must let go of this belief.”

Via Instinct: The Dalai Lama Approves Same-Sex Marriage, Says Bullying And Homophobia Is What's Wrong
The Dalai Lama has taken Pope Francis' softened approach to modern
civil rights for the LGBT community and raised the stakes.
Significantly.
In a sit down interview for Larry King Now, His Holiness says same-sex marriage is fine—it's really bullying and homophobia that is morally wrong.
When asked about homosexuality in general and gay rights (with a lead in from Russia's current War on Gays), the Dalai Lama responds:
When asked about homosexuality in general and gay rights (with a lead in from Russia's current War on Gays), the Dalai Lama responds:
"That's a personal matter. People who have a special tradition, you should follow according to your own tradition. ... But non-believer, that's up to them. Different form of sex? So long as it's safe, okay! And fully agreed, okay! Bullied? Abused? That's what is wrong. That's a violation of human rights."When asked about same-sex marriage rights, the Dalai Lama replies:
"That's up to the countries' laws. It's okay, I think individual business. If a couple really feels that way, practical, satisfaction ... if both sides fully agree, then okay!"Make the jump here to read the full article and get the video

“Você já ouviu alguém dizer que Deus mora dentro e muito provavelmente
acredita nisso. Porém, no nível mais profundo, você não tem certeza
disso e acredita que Deus é um controlador punitivo, um tirano cruel que
não hesita em te castigar e te lançar ao sofrimento. A grande maioria
das pessoas carrega essa imagem reforçada pelas grandes tradições
religiosas que nos ensinam a temer Deus e a andar na linha para não
sermos punidos. E mesmo que você não
pertença a nenhuma religião, essa crença lhe é transmitida através da
figura de autoridade dos pais. E isso inevitavelmente é projetado na sua
imagem de Deus.”

“You have already heard that God lives within, and it’s likely that you believe this to be true. But on a deeper level, you’re not so sure about this and you believe that God is a controlling punisher. You see God as a cruel tyrant that doesn’t hesitate to punish you and cast you into suffering. The vast majority of people carry this image within them, and it is reinforced by the great religious traditions that teach us to fear God and to stay in line so as to avoid punishment. Even if you don’t belong to any religion, this belief is transmitted to you through your parents’ authoritative figure. Eventually, this gets projected onto your own image of God.”

“Alguns compreendem satsang como uma palestra, mas é um equívoco.
Satsang é uma experiência - a experiência de estarmos juntos. Nessa
experiência, um instante de silêncio pode ser mais eloquente do que
todas as palavras. As palavras surgem na forma de conhecimento,
instrução e guiança, mas elas não são o mais importante.”

“Some people understand the word ‘satsang’ to be a talk, but this is
not entirely correct. Satsang is the experience of togetherness. In this
meeting, an instance of silence can be more eloquent than any spoken
word. Words may appear in the form of knowledge, instruction and
guidance, but they are not the most important element in this kind of
encounter.”
