Without good motivation, science and technology, instead of helping, bring 
more fear and threaten global destruction. Compassionate thought is very 
important for humankind.
-His Holiness the Dalai Lama

Wisdom does not mean knowledge but experiential understanding. Wisdom helps 
you to change radically your habits and perceptions, as you discover the 
constantly changing, interconnected nature of the whole of existence.
