The Gods have proclaimed Christ to have been most pious, but the Christians are a confused and vicious sect.

شیعه، کسی است که برای اهل سنت، اسلام و آرمان‌های اسلام جان خود را فدا می‌کند.

Whilst on the subject of the spread of Buddhism in the West, I want to say that I have noticed some tendency towards sectarianism amongst new practitioners. This is absolutely wrong. Religion should never become a source of conflict, a further factor of division within the human community.

Every religion has its own gods. The One God has only one religion.

No-one can own our Lord Buddha. That would be a foolish claim, but the roads that lead to him, the Way... That is a different matter. They are all filled with toll-gates, like the roads of Japan, and the monks collect the fees.

See yourself in a mirror, you are a human first than anything else.
