What good is religion anyway? by Karyn Scherer
This collection of articles was well worth reading and pondering:

Greg Shand immerses himself in an Indian ashram and finds it has a profound and positive effect.
What is the real purpose of getting a higher education?

On Defining Spirit© by Rachel Naomi Remen
http://spiderjohnson.com/Pages/definingspirit.html
“Religion is a bridge to the spiritual-but the spiritual lies beyond religion. Unfortunately in seeking the spiritual we may become attached to the bridge rather than crossing over it.”

The greatest quote!
“This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.” ~ The Dalai Lama

Pema Chödrön quote
“All religions point to the fact that being fully present is the only state in which you can wake up—not by somehow leaving.”
