DHARMA SAMABHAVA : UNITY OR CONFUSION OF RELIGIONS |
|
|
| If
one were to take such statements as symbols or metaphors of a mystic
path it would not be so bad and there are a few who attempt this.
But all over the world most religionists still interpret their
faiths literally and insist that their book is God's word, which no
one can challenge. Religion as we have known it is not so much a
beautiful field of truth or mysticism but an abyss of negative
emotions and hostile actions that have scarred the minds and lives
of millions, may billions of people.
It would better to regard all religions as false because this
would at least cause people to seek the truth and make them question
what religions have taught. To make all religions true, with all
their human imperfections, is to make people hostage to any
falsehood, half-truth, or misinterpretation that happens to call
itself religion. And certainly all human beings would like their
opinions, beliefs and prejudices to become a religion. Nothing is
more flattering to the human ego than to ascribe our biases to God
and to sanction our desires and ambitions as the working out of His
will. |
