Sickness, old age, mishaps of one sort or another are the same for us all. But the sufferings which undermine our internal peace—anxiety, doubt, disappointment—these are definitely less. -- H.H. the Dalai Lama - +~ +If we view the world’s religions from the widest possible viewpoint and +examine their ultimate goal, we find that all of the major world religions, +whether Christianity or Islam, Hinduism or Buddhism, are dedicated to the +achievement of permanent human happiness. They are all directed toward that +goal. All religions emphasize the fact that the true follower must be honest +and gentle, in other words, that a truly religious person must always strive +to be a better human being. To this end, the different world religions teach +different doctrines which will help transform the person. In this regard, all +religions are the same, there is no conflict. This is something we must +emphasize. We must consider the question of religious diversity from this +viewpoint. And when we do, we find no conflict. + -- H.H. the Dalai Lama
