The BEST Religion • Do Unto Others

And when we look at the essence of all religions we find this “Golden Rule” to be the common thread:

African Traditional Proverb • One going to take a pointed stick to pinch a baby bird should first try it on himself to feel how it hurts.

Baha’i Faith • Blessed is he who preferreth his brother before himself.

Buddhism • Hurt not others in ways that you yourself would find hurtful.

Christianity • Do unto others as you would have them so unto you.

Confucianism • Tse-kung asked, Is there one word that can serve as a principle of conduct for life? Confucius replied, It is the word ‘shu’ — reciprocity. Do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire.

Hinduism • Do naught to others which, if done to thee, would cause thee pain: this is the sum of duty.

Islam • No one of you is a believer until he desires for his brother that which he desires for himself.

Jainism • In happiness and suffering, in joy and grief, we should regard all creatures as we regard our own self.

Judaism • What is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow man. That is the entire Law, all the rest is commentary.

Shintoism • Be charitable to all beings, love is the representative of God.

Sikhism • Don’t create enmity with anyone as God is within everyone.

Taoism • Regard your neighbor’s gain as your gain and your neighbor’s loss as your loss.
