All
religions are from the teachings of one true god whose wisdom is
fundamentally “benevolence, compassion, and universal love.” From this
perspective, all religions can cooperate with one another in unity.

The Christian sacred texts say, “God loves all people” and “Love one
another. Just as I have loved you, you also must love one another.”

Islam teaches, “Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate.” and
“There’s only one guideline for being moral. It’s being selfless, do
good with universal love for all.”
Zoroastrianism teaches, “ One should love others as oneself. This is as the faith of man should be.”

Sikhism teaches, “More than all else do I treasure love at heart,
which makes me live an eternal life in this mundane world.”

Baháism teaches, “The purpose of the one true God manifesting
Himself to our world is to summon all mankind to uphold truthfulness,
sincerity, filial piety and trustworthiness.”

Buddhism teaches in the Infinite Life Sutra, “Revere the saints and
respect the decent [people]. Be benevolent, compassionate, and
universally loving.”

Why is it that the core
teachings from all saints and sages are about benevolence, compassion,
and universal love? It is because the universe was created by one
creator? The creator is the true body of all phenomena and the universe.
Here, Judaism, Catholicism, and Christianity are referring to God. In
Islam, the creator is Allah. In Buddhism, it is the true nature, or
Dharma nature. In Taoism, it is called Tao. It creates all phenomena and
also exists in all phenomena. It is everywhere. It is everything. “All
phenomena” means everything, including us human beings. Therefore, it is
our true nature (our true form). We and all phenomena are from the same
origin. Everything is one entity. Therefore, when we love all people,
when we love everything, we actually and truly love ourselves.

Consequently,
we realize that the sacred texts of all religions teach us to learn
from God, Buddha, Saints and Sages to love all beings equally, to learn
to have “a mind that encompasses everything; a heart that reaches
throughout the whole universe,” to learn to be selfless, to learn to
abandon evil and promote goodness, and to learn to let go of greed and
raise our spirituality while dedicating ourselves to helping and serving
all beings so they can end pain and suffering, and attain happiness.

If
each religious adherent could follow their own teachings, treat other
religious adherents equally, live in harmony, respect and care for each
other, and cooperate, then this strong and positive force would surely
be able to resolve all conflicts and promote world peace.

And verily We shall try you until We know those of you who really strive and are steadfast, and until We test your record.

 
quote,
 The EcclesiastesJudaism

Vanity
of vanities! All is vanity. What does man gain by all the toil at which
he toils under the sun?I have seen everything that is done under the
sun; and behold, all is vanity and a striving after wind.

In
sleep our nights wasted, in filling our belly the days:This life,
precious as a jewel, is forfeited for a cowrie shell.Ignorant fool! You
who have never realized God’s Name, In the end into regrets shall fall.

Wherever a being may be born, Arjuna, know thatMy Prakrti is his Mother, and I [Purusha] am the Father who gave him life.

 
quote,
 Martin Luther KingChristianity, Protestantism

Every man must decide whether
he will walk in the light of creative altruism or the darkness of
destructive selfishness. This is the judgment. Life’s most persistent
and urgent question is, What are you doing for others?

In a man’s life, his time is
but a moment, his being a mere flux, his senses a dim glimpse, his body
food for the worms, and his soul a restless eddy … the things of the
body pass like a flowing stream; life is a brief sojourn, and one’s mark
in this world is soon forgotten.

At daybreak, when you loathe
the idea of having to leave your bed, have this thought ready in your
mind: I am rising for the work of man.” Should I have misgivings about
doing that for which I was born, and for the sake of which I came into
this world? Is this the grand purpose of my existence-to lie here snug
and warm underneath my blanket? Certainly it feels more pleasant. Was it
for pleasure that you were made, and not for work, nor for effort? Look
at the plants, sparrows, ants, spiders, and bees, all working busily
away, each doing its part in welding an orderly Universe. So who are you
to go against the bidding of Nature? Who are you to refuse man his
share of the work?To live each day as though it were your
last-never flustered, never lazy, never a false word-herein lies the
perfection of character.

This world is a place of preparation where one is given many lessons and passes many tests. […]What
is bad is what you do with the world when you become blind to truth and
totally consumed by your desires, lust, and ambition for it.

Question: Why is the sacrifice
of Isaac considered so glorious? At that time, our Father Abraham had
already reached a high rung of holiness, and so it was no wonder that he
immediately did as God asked him!Answer: When man is tried, all the
rungs and all holiness are taken from him. Stripped of everything he
has attained, he stands face to face with God who is putting him to the
test.

Question:
In the Sayings of the
Fathers we read: “Who is wise? He who learns from all men, as it is
said, ‘From all my teachers I have gotten understanding.”‘ Then why does
it not say: “He who learns from every teacher”?Answer: The master
who pronounced this dictum is intent on making it clear that we can
learn not only from those whose occupation is to teach but from every
man. Even from a person who is ignorant, or from one who is wicked, you
can gain understanding as to how to conduct your life.”You can learn
from everything,” the rabbi of Sadagora once said to his hasidim.
“Everything can teach us something, and not only everything God has
created. What man has made has also something to teach us.”"What can we
learn from a train?” one hasid asked dubiously.”That because of one
second one can miss everything.”"And from the telegraph?”"That every
word is counted and charged.”"And the telephone?”"That what we say here
is heard there.”

How
can you find delight and mirth Where there is burning without end? In
deepest darkness you are wrapped! Why do you not seek for the light? I
look at this puppet here, well rigged, A heap of many sores, piled up,
Diseased, and full of greediness, Unstable, and impermanent! Devoured by
old age is this frame, A prey to sickness, weak and frail; To pieces
breaks this putrid body, All life must truly end in death.
