　　On World Religion Day, it is a good idea to understand how similar the great world religions are in their beliefs. Look at these writings from different religions. Are they similar to your own religion’s teaching? Buddhism states: “Hurt not others in ways that you yourself would find hurtful.” This is similar to Christianity, which teaches us to: “Do unto others as you would have them do to you,” and Judaism: What is hateful to you, do not to your fellow man.” The Baha’I Faith tells us that: “Blessed is he who prefers his brother before himself.” This teaching is very similar to Islam, which says: “No one of you is a believer until he desires for his brother that which he desires for himself.” In Sikhism "No one is my enemy, none a stranger and everyone is my friend."

　　在这一天里，人们能够更好的明白各个宗教之间的相似之处。看看不同宗教的理念，他们是否与你的宗教有相似之处呢？佛教称：“Hurt not others in ways that you yourself would find hurtful。”佛教的教义与基督教非常相似，基督教认为“Do unto others as you would have them do to you,”犹太教说：“What is hateful to you, do not to your fellow man。”巴哈伊教说：“Blessed is he who prefers his brother before himself。”这些教义与伊斯兰非常相似，伊斯兰教认为：“No one of you is a believer until he desires for his brother that which he desiresfor himself.”在锡克教里是：“"No one is my enemy, none a stranger and everyone is my friend.”
