The Simple Religion of Kindness
“My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness.” – The Dalai Lama
What if the most powerful philosophy in the world isn’t complex at all? Today, we explore the profound simplicity of kindness: from Paddington Bear’s marmalade-hearted wisdom to real-world stories that warm the soul.
In Eugene, Oregon, a small café feeds around 75 people a week through a “Pay It Forward” system, turning generosity into a daily rhythm. And on a crowded flight, a stranger named Chad Savage held the hand of a nervous first-time flyer — proving that even the smallest gestures can change a moment, a memory, even a life.
In this episode:
- Why the Dalai Lama sees kindness as his “religion”
- Paddington Bear’s pop-culture lesson on everyday compassion
- The café that transforms donations into dignity
- A passenger whose simple touch brought peace to another
