Matthieu Ricard Quotes

At The Collective Level, Pride Is Expressed In The Conviction Of Being Superior To Others As A Nation Or A Race, Of Being The Guardian Of The True Values Of Civilization, And Of The Need To Impose This Dominant "model" On "ignorant" Peoples By Any Means Available. This Attitude Often Serves As A Pretext For "developing" The Resources Of Underdeveloped Countries. The Conquistadors And Their Bishops Burned The Vast Mayan And Aztec Libraries Of Mexico, Of Which Barely A Dozen Volumes Survive. Chinese Textbooks And Media Continue To Describe Tibetans As Backward Barbarians And The Dalai Lama As A Monster. It Was Pride, Above All, That Allowed The Chinese To Ignore The Hundreds Of Thousands Of Volumes Of Philosophy Housed In Tibetan Monasteries Before They Demolished Six Thousand Of Those Centers Of Learning.
