true or false?

this is something about religion that i find it very interesting...

Someone asked a monk about this:
You certainly think high of Buddhism. I suppose you believe it is the only true religion and that all the others are false.

He answered:
No Buddhist who understands the Buddha's teaching
thinks that other religions are wrong.
No one who has made a genuine effort to examine other religions
with an open mind could think like that either.

The first thing you notice when you study the different religions
is just how much they have in common.
All religions acknowledge that
humankind's present state is unsatisfactory.
All believe that a change of attitude and behaviour is needed if the human situation is to improve.
All teach an ethics that includes love, kindness, patience, generosity and social responsibility,
and all accept the existence of some form of Absolute.
They use different languages,
different names and
different symbols to describe and explain these things.

It is only when people cling narrow-mindedly to their particular way of seeing things that intolerance, pride and self-righteousness arise.

A Second Chance

the American industrialist Henry Ford said this...

Genius is experience.
Some seem to think that it is a gift or talent,
but it is the fruit of long experience in many lives...
Some are older souls than others
and so they know more...

the reasons for my gratitude

yea you asked me why should i say thank you
i would like to thank you for giving me this opportunity
during the last whole week
i've learned alot
by having outings with friends
or maybe friends of friends
this is what you'll get by meeting new people in your life...

firstly
i met somebody who has a great passion in music
spoke to somebody who believes me
and reassure me to pursue
whatever in my mind
that i have the quality to go on
walk along the path that all men disapprove

next
i met somebody from taiwan
sounds religious but not that serious
she is really cool and outgoing
a virgo who talks and laughs
and looks into your eyes so sincerely at the end of the conversation
no matter its under the stars and umbrella
or its under the blazing hot sun
i shall thank you for allowing me to join something i will surely appreciate
and yes i did

friendship stays fresh and long enough
when you know the way to reach mutual respect

and then
here it goes
where i got the chance to speak to the typical otaku
and here's a piece of advice that i would like to give
brains may and may not be everything
so before putting your life at risk
why not insure them with something presentable?

i'm sorry if i am too over
and i'm sorry for not being able to attend the photo-shooting session on sunday before your departure
i'm really sorry to let you guys waiting
lastly,thanks!
oh ya... its for YOU... who are reading this!
