GREAT PRINCIPLES SHARED BY ALL RELIGIONS.......The Golden Rule / Law of Reciprocity– The cornerstone of religious understanding. Do unto others what you would have them do unto you - Christianity Honor Thy Father and Mother– Knowing them is the key to knowing ourselves. The day will come when we shall wish we had known them better. Speak the Truth – Sincerity is the way of heaven, and to think how to be sincere is the way of a man.” –Confucianism. More Blessed to Give than to Receive – Generosity, charity and kindness will open an individual to an unbounded reservoir of riches. Even as the scent dwells within the flower, so God within thine own heart forever abides. – Sikhism Love Thy Neighbour / Conquer With Love / All You Need is Love – Acts of faith, prayer and deep meditation provide us with the strength that allows love for our fellow man to become an abiding part of our lives. Love is a unifying force.Blessed Are the Peacemakers – When people live in the awareness that there is a close kinship between all individuals and nations, peace is the natural result.You Reap What You Sow – This is the great mystery of human life. Aware or unaware, all are ruled by this inevitable law of nature.Man Does Not Live by Bread Alone – The blessings of life are deeper than what can be appreciated by the senses.Do No Harm – If someone tries to hurt another, it means that she is perceiving that person as something separate and foreign from herself. – The most beautiful thing a man can do is to forgive wrong. –Judaism Judge Not, Lest Ye Be Judged – This principle is an expression of the underlying truth that mankind is one great family, and that we all spring from a common source. Be Slow to Anger – Anger clouds the mind in the very moments that clarity and objectivity are needed most. He who holds back rising anger like a rolling chariot, him I call a real driver; others only hold the reins. – Buddha.There is But One God / God is Love – Nature, Being, The Absolute, whatever name man chooses, there is but one God. All people and all things are of one essence.Follow the Spirit of the Scriptures, Not the words – Study the words, no doubt, but look behind them to the thought they indicate; And having found it, throw the words away, as chaff when you have sifted out the grain.
