Our common ground

Warning: this content is older than 365 days. It may be out of date and no longer relevant.

We are not so different. We share a common ground. Every major religion has agreed on one point through the centuries, no matter what the religion, language, or culture, from ancient China to today.

“Never impose on others what you would not choose for yourself.” — Confucius

“Treat others as you treat yourself.” – Vidura, the Mahabharata

“Whatever is disagreeable to yourself do not do unto others.” Shayast-na-Shayast

“One should never do that to another which one regards as injurious to one’s own self.” – Brihaspati

“What is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow: this is the whole Torah; the rest is the explanation; go and learn.” – Rabbi Hillel the Elder

“Do to others what you want them to do to you. This is the meaning of the law of Moses and the teaching of the prophets.” – Jesus of Nazareth

“As you would have people do to you, do to them; and what you dislike to be done to you, don’t do to them.” – Prophet Muhammad

“Do good to others as you would like good to be done to you. Regard bad for yourself whatever you regard bad for others.” – Ali ibn Abi Talib

“Hurt not others in ways that you yourself would find hurtful.” – Siddhartha Gautama, the historical Buddha

“A man should wander about treating all creatures as he himself would be treated.” – Sutrakrinaga

“And if thine eyes be turned towards justice, choose thou for thy neighbour that which thou choosest for thyself.” — Bahá’u’lláh

We figured out our common ground centuries ago.

We just have to do it.
