Guest guest Posted December 1, 2000 Report Share Posted December 1, 2000 Yum, Harsha, yum! Have a lovely holiday season, and more.... (you hoodlum, you) Love, Mark Harsha wrote: The Holiday season is approaching and probably people will get more busy with personal and family things. The underlying theme among the great religions has always been universal love, compassion, and nonviolence. The Jain sage Mahavir, the prophet of nonviolence, advised humanity to prosper through mutual help and support for each other. Mahavir's contemporary Buddha emphasized compassion as a key principle for living. Jesus (I think said), "Love your neighbor as yourself for God is Love." I am not familiar with all major religions but one can find similar sentiments among most of their founders. Saints and men and women of God of different times and different religions have arrived at the same conclusions about how it is best for people to relate to each other. I pray that we all reflect on and understand the deeper meaning of the teachings of our various religions and understand the common message for mutual learning, teaching, acceptance, and support for each other. Love to all Harsha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
