In every religion, God wants us to be kind:
"Kindness is a mark of faith, and whoever is not kind has no faith." (Muslim(sic) from the Quran)
~~
"A religious act is performed out of good motivation with sincere thought for the benefit of others. Religion is here and now inour daily lives. If we lead that life for the benefit of the world, this is the hallmark of a religious life.
This is my simple religion. No need for temples. No need for complicated philosophy. Your own mind, your own heart is the temple; your philosophy is simple kindness." His Holiness the Dalai Lama from How to Expand Love: Widening the Circle of Loving Relationships
~~
"Among the wealthy, compassionate men claim the richest wealth,
For material wealth is possessed by even contemptible men.
Find and follow the good path and be ruled by compassion.
For if the various ways are examined, compassion will prove the means to liberation." The Gayatri Mantra (Hindu)
Why is it so hard to remember?
