"The identity of just one thing, the "clash of civilization" view that you're a Muslim or a Hindu or a Buddhist or a Christian, I think that's such a limited way of seeing humanity, and schools have the opportunity to bring out the fact that we have hundreds of identities. We have our national identity. We have our cultural identity, linguistic identity, religious identity. Yes, cultural identity, professional identity, all kinds of ways."
“The doctrinal differences between Hinduism and Buddhism and Taoism are not anywhere near as important as doctrinal differences among Christianity and Islam and Judaism. Holy wars are not fought over them because verbalized statements about reality are never presumed to be reality itself.”
― Robert M. Pirsig (1928-2016)
“Yes I am, I am also a Muslim, a Christian, a Buddhist, and a Jew.”
― Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948)

Jeg tror at alle religioners Gud(er) er energi, dvs. årsaken til "uforklarlige" fenomener…‽
Islam har én gud, Allah. Muhammed var hans profet
la ilaha illa Allah wa Muhammad rasul Allah (لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا ٱللَّٰهُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ ٱللَّٰهِ) ( det finnes ingen annen gud enn Allah, og Muhammed er hans profet)
"I like Islam, it is a consistent idea of religion and open-minded."
― Kurt Gödel (1906-1978)
De kristne har en Gud, men Jesus som er Guds sønn, er også gud samtidig som han er menneske. Jesus er født av jomfru Maria, samtidig som Gud er hans far.
Jeg tror at buddhismen er en filosofi, og at Buddha var en profetisk filosof.
"Believe nothing because it is written in books.
Believe nothing because wise men say it is so.
Believe nothing because it is religious doctrine.
Believe it only because you yourself know it to be true."
—Buddha (c.563-483 BC) [Siddharta Gautama]
“It is not a Buddhist approach to say that if everyone practiced Buddhism, the world would be a better place. Wars and oppression begin from this kind of thinking.”
― Sulak Sivaraksa
“If scientific analysis were conclusively to demonstrate certain claims in Buddhism to be false, then we must accept the findings of science and abandon those claims.”
— Dalai Lama XIV
