Prep, Freddie pointed out in another thread that it is written in the Bible that "Many will know me by different names". While that quote has a familiar ring to me, I don't know where it comes from. I believe with all my heart that the many prophets of various religions represent the same one God. Just my opinion, but I can't help but believe that the Dalai Lama is referring to the same God as Jesus, Mohammed, Buddha, Krishna, et al. Maybe even Ghandi and Mother Teresa, I view them as holy. I can't believe in being religously right or wrong, what father would exclude the majority of his children for calling him "Dad" instead of "Father"?
To me, the value of a leader can be fairly well assesed by the quality of his life. When a man lives in humbleness and servitude, it makes more of an impact on me than one who preaches from on high. Whether one sees the Dalai Lama as a messenger of God or a man of great character, it is hard to overlook his dedication to others. He is not under attack because he attacks no one.
I think much of the Christian religion as it is being practised today resembles very much
the state the church was in when Jesus first came to town! People so easily forget how Jesus spent his time here.
