Quotes





"To be attached to a certain view and to look upon other views as inferior -
this the wise call a fetter."

 Buddhism









"And Peter opened his mouth and said, 'Truly I perceive that God shows no partiality, but in every nation any one who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him."

Christianity








"Those who believe in the Qur'an, those who follow the Jewish scriptures, and the Sabeans and the Christians - any who believe in God and the Last Day, and work righteousness - on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve."

Islam




















"Like the bees gathering honey from different flowers, the wise accept the essence of different scriptures and see only the good in all religions."   

Hinduism
















"Comprehend one philosophical view through study of another one. Those who praise their own doctrines & disparage the doctrines of others do not solve any problem."

Jainism













"I look at all the major religions of the world as one big family."

Unification Church













The whole of planet Earth is a sacred site. All people are the chosen people, and the purpose of our lives is a spiritual one.

May we care for each other, and for the earth, for everything relates to everything else.

Feeling this oneness, may we radiate the light of love and kindness that all may live in unity and peace.
