What if we shifted the framework away from:
This Religion versus That Religion
This Belief System versus That Belief System
This God versus that God
This Creed versus That Creed
This Jesus versus That Buddha versus This Mohammad versus That Abraham, versus… etc…
What if we stopped asking questions like:
What is your religion?
What are you beliefs?
What is your doctrine?
Where do you go to church?
What if we started asking questions more like:
Are you free from suffering?
Do you know the unchanging, underlying and fundamental essence and nature of yourself, and all things?
Do you know the path to lasting happiness?
Have you buried the false notion of separation?
Do you see God in all things and all people?
Are you participating in the liberation of all beings?
Are you an instrument of compassion, wisdom, and love?
Are you being present in the moment?
Are you living life skilfully?
Do you know the peace beyond all comprehension?
