I realize that many elements of the Buddhist teaching can be found in Christianity, Judaism, Islam. I think if Buddhism can help, it is the concrete methods of practice.

My belief as a Christian is when we receive Christ as salvation, that that gives us a guarantee for Heaven.

So far as I can remember, there is not one word in the Gospels in praise of intelligence.

If any of you should ask me for an epitome of the Christian religion, I should say that it is in one word – prayer. Live and die without prayer, and you will pray long enough when you get to hell.

To gather with God’s people in united adoration of the Father is as necessary to the Christian life as prayer.

I pledge allegiance to the Christian flag, and to the Savior, for whose Kingdom it stands, one Savior, crucified, risen, and coming again, with life and liberty for all who believe.

He who gives away shall have real gain. He who subdues himself shall be free; he shall cease to be a slave of passions. The righteous man casts off evil, and by rooting out lust, bitterness, and illusion do we reach Nirvana.

The Christian’s Bible is a drug store. Its contents remain the same, but the medical practice changes.

I am a Christian and a Democrat, that’s all.

Sincere Christians can disagree about the details of Scripture and theology – absolutely.

The United States is not, and never will be, at war with Islam.

For where God built a church, there the Devil would also build a chapel.

The Christian religion, though scattered and abroad will in the end gather itself together at the foot of the cross.

That I am not a member of any Christian church is true; but I have never denied the truth of the Scriptures, and I have never spoken with intentional disrespect of religion in general, or of any denomination of Christians in particular.

You can be committed to Church but not committed to Christ, but you cannot be committed to Christ and not committed to church.

Chaos is inherent in all compounded things. Strive on with diligence.

When Christians say God has been talking to them about something, it simply means they have a strong inner conviction or feeling that God has made His will known to them.

If you’d have said Evangelical in 1957, most people wouldn’t know what you were talking about. And then, they’d be against it.

Every day that goes by puts us closer to the day when Christ will return.

So live with men as if God saw you and speak to God, as if men heard you.

Christianity supplies a Hell for the people who disagree with you and a Heaven for your friends.

I cannot and will not recant anything, for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe. Here I stand, I can do no other, so help me God. Amen.

One of the things people don’t really recognise about the similarities between country and hip-hop is that they’re celebrations of pride in a lifestyle.

I’m just hoping that people understand that Islam is peace and not violence.

There is no hope of anyone going to Heaven unless they believe this truth I am presenting. You cannot go to Heaven unless you believe with all your heart that Jesus took your place in Hell.

You notice how liberals keep saying, ‚If only Islam would have a Reformation‘ – it can’t have one. It says it can’t. It’s extremely dangerous in that way.

Jesus isn’t lettin‘ you off the hook. The Scriptures don’t let you off the hook so easily… When people say, you know, ‚Good teacher‘, ‚Prophet‘, ‚Really nice guy‘ … this is not how Jesus thought of Himself.

I’m amazed sometimes by the Christians who don’t really believe that God wants to help them and bless them.

Anyone who is to find Christ must first find the church. How could anyone know where Christ is and what faith is in him unless he knew where his believers are?

It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first.

In Christianity neither morality nor religion come into contact with reality at any point.

I say quite deliberately that the Christian religion, as organized in its Churches, has been and still is the principal enemy of moral progress in the world.

We can’t equate democracy with Christianity because the largest democracy on earth is India, which is primarily Hindu. The third largest democracy is Indonesia, which is Islamic. Democracy and freedom are not dependent on Christian beliefs.

When Christ died, He died for you individually just as much as if you’d been the only man in the world.

I think Buddhism should open the door of psychology and healing to penetrate more easily into the Western world.

When you turn your heart and your life over to Christ, when you accept Christ as the savior, it changes your heart.

The Lord has redeemed all of us, all of us, with the blood of Christ: all of us, not just Catholics. Everyone! ‚Father, the atheists?‘ Even the atheists. Everyone!

When we walk without the cross, when we build without the cross and when we proclaim Christ without the cross, we are not disciples of the Lord. We are worldly. We may be bishops, priests, cardinals, popes, all of this, but we are not disciples of the Lord.

It was because the chimps are so eye-catching, so like us and teach us so much that my work was recognised worldwide.

Too many Christians live their lives like slaves – to the devil – because they believe his lies more than they trust God.

I don’t know which will go first – rock ‚n‘ roll or Christianity.

I did not set out to convert anyone to Christianity.

Find new ways to spread the word of God to every corner of the world.

I am a Christian, and the Bible teaches me to forgive.

The Gospel has never changed.

Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn’t argue with that; I’m right and I will be proved right. We’re more popular than Jesus now; I don’t know which will go first – rock and roll or Christianity.

I tell people, and it’s the truth, I could sit in my garage for a week and it won’t make me a car. And you can sit in church till your bottom is flat and that won’t make you a servant of Christ.

When all is said and done, what constitutes the impregnable superiority of Christianity over all other types of Faith is that it is ever more consciously identified with a Christogenesis: in other words, with an awareness of the rise of a certain universal Presence which is at once immortalizing and unifying.

As with the Christian religion, the worst advertisement for Socialism is its adherents.

There are many levels of Christianity. There are many notions about God. To believe that God is a person is just one of the notions of God that you can find in Christianity. So, we should not say that there is one Christianity. There are many Christianities.

I tell you the solemn truth, that the doctrine of the Trinity is not so difficult to accept for a working proposition as any one of the axioms of physics.

I want to tell people about the meaning of the cross.

We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state, and our education system.

Think of what you are, you Christians. You are God’s children; you are joint heirs with Christ. The ‚many mansions‘ are for you; the palms and harps of the glorified are for you. You have a share in all that Christ has and is and shall be.

As a Christian, you forgive, and you feed the hungry and clothe the naked, and you visit the sick and comfort the lonely. If I’m a true follower of my lord and saviour Jesus Christ, I got to do the things you’re supposed to be doing.

Buddhism is not a creed, it is a doubt.

Real Christianity can be summed up in two commands: Love God, and love people.

I have done one thing that I think is a contribution: I helped Buddhist science and modern science combine. No other Buddhist has done that. Other lamas, I don’t think they ever pay attention to modern science. Since my childhood, I have a keen interest.

My problem is I am Christian, so I think other people must have success, too; it’s not about me.

I did once seriously think of embracing the Christian faith. The gentle figure of Christ, so full of forgiveness that he taught his followers not to retaliate when abused or struck, but to turn the other cheek – I thought it was a beautiful example of the perfect man.

Has Jesus saved me? I dare not speak with any hesitation here; I know He has. His Word is true; therefore, I am saved.
