What is the best thing you learned from other religious people or books?

Question

Thank you for beautiful and small answers

Answer 1

I learned who I Am.

Answer 2

Whether its other religious people or people of the same religion, be it other religious books or books of your religion.., everyone's got to learn something from others which helps gain experience and assure yourself that you are not going to commit the same mistakes taking their examples and also work for betterment of your life by following the principles of people who have crossed the hurdles of life and gained success..
In short life is all about learning and gaining experiences..

Answer 3

Friedrich Nietzsche wrote that "he who has a why to live for can bear any how." (I think that's more or less the quote.)

Basically, I've learned that religion or faith gives people a reason to live and helps them through their suffering much more so than those who live without any guiding faith.

I've met some religious hypocrites. I've also met some very genuine people of all faiths.

Answer 4

Sir,
To be silent and to listen (not hear ).

Take the Great Taj mahal.Suppose ten professional photographers take the picture of TAJ from ten different angles, the same Taj looks in ten different shapes.Does it mean that the TAJ has Ten shapes.All are TAJ only.
All religions preach the same thing in its own way.All roads lead to Rome.Some may be easy ,some difficult.There is nothing to contradict.
Ekam Sat.Viprah Bahulaa vadanti.That's all.

Answer 5

I'll have to change that to "spiritual" people or books.
I learned to at least try to accept responsibility for my own beliefs, thoughts, and actions, and that my emotional reactions are my own choices.
I also learned that we only seem to be here, although we really are not, but that while in this perception of reality, our main focus is supposed to be on forgiveness.

Answer 6

I haven't even learned / follow the best things taught by our religion, As a hindu i respect them and their beleifs, but i would say there is every thing in my religion. If i say something i learned in another religion,then that will be a false statment as it is there in my religion itself which i might not have learned.

Answer 7

that our similarities are many, but many folk allow only the differences to show through, which causes divisions.
this saddens me, as we have a great capacity to get along just fine without religions!
but the constant examples of people's kindness, generosity and love fills me with joy on many many occasions!!

love and light to all

thanks for the tea sunmanna, and i like the small change ;)

blessed be

Answer 8

Muslims-brotherhood, Hindus-devotion, Christians-relationships, Sikhs-Firm belief etc.,

Answer 9

Are differences are only as ripples upon the cosmic ocean, we are not so different for we all have the same source, so to my Brothers and Sisters here on R/S, a toast of tea to you all! *sip* EDIT: Well, thank you Hedgewitch. What is that saying? As above so below or is it as below so above? Or maybe both. *sip*

Answer 10

I think when I read Corrie Ten Boon's book "The Hiding Place" Corrie's words "there is no pit so deep that God's grace is not deeper than". No matter what our problems are, no matter how far we have sunk..God's grace is sufficient.

Answer 11

If I was drunk enough, I could probably make a book that would sound somehting like the scriptures of every religion.
