HOW DOES BUDDHISM AFFECT YOUR PERSONAL LIFE, AND SOCIAL VISION AS WELL?
ASSK: Well, I was born a Buddhist and brought up a Buddhist, so it is very difficult for me to separate what is Buddhist in me from what is not Buddhist in me. It's a question that I find very difficult to answer.

Quoted from Aung San Suu Kyi (http://homepages.tesco.net/~ghoutman/pdfs/04part4.pdf)
she has said that there is no conflict between Buddhist and political pursuits, that ‘politics is about people, and you can't separate people from their spiritual values’.

Blast From the Past (1999) Troy = Brendan Fraser, Eve = Alicia Silverstone
"Manners are a way of showing other people we care about them.
Troy: He thinks I'm a gentleman and you're a lady.
Eve: [disgusted] Well, consider the source! I don't even know what a lady is.
Troy: I know, I mean I thought a "gentleman" was somebody that owned horses. But it turns out, his short and simple definition of a lady or a gentleman is, someone who always tries to make sure the people around him or her are as comfortable as possible.
Eve: Where do you think he got all that information?
Troy: From the oddest place - his parents. I mean, I don't think I got that memo from mine." |The Internet Movie Database|
