Let’s consider the three mountaintops of three different faiths—Hinduism, Christianity, and Islam. As I’ve argued, the different mountaintops, representing the “end” or goal of the path, are quite different. However, at the base level, they may show some similarities. When I teach this, I typically draw out several different mountains and then add a dotted line circling the common areas they share at their base (15.8). These are the concepts, teachings, and ideas that represent the things the different faiths may have in common.
