So too, getting
beyond these conflicts requires much more than an equation of terminology. It requires
looking for a universal spirituality that takes us beyond the religious dogmas in the
world today, which still serve to divide humanity into hostile camps.
According to religious synthesizers all religions are the same thing only in a different
garb or according to a different name. But is this really true? One can perhaps
designate related religions in this manner. For
example, one can call Islam Christianity in another garb, though this is a generalization
that is not entirely accurate. One can call Buddhism, particularly the Tibetan form,
Hinduism in another grab and not be too far wrong. But can one call Buddhism merely Islam
in another grab? Can one call Hinduism merely Christianity in a different form? |
