Sharing Beliefs
I came across an idea from the Dali Lama. He talked about how we justify leaving one religion for another by finding fault with the religion that we are leaving. He believes it is better to avoid doing that because the religion you are leaving is important to many others who still practice that religion. We respect the religion of others as we respect our own. Fabulous idea. I have a few questions about my religion and I have been tempted to complain or point out the paradoxical nature of certain aspects. It can get out of balance quickly. I'm glad to be reminded that negative energy towards anything promotes a negative outcome. Questions are welcome. Questions that don't include an assumption but rather an openess to the answer. Questions such as these, padded with positive energy can only lead to wonderful discoveries.
