INTERFAITH WISDOM

"I always believe that it is much better to have a variety of religions, a variety of philosophies, rather than one single religion or philosophy.  This is necessary because of the different mental dispositions of each human being.  Each religion has certain unique ideas or techniques, and learning about them can only enrich one's own faith."
--His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama

"God is the light of the heavens and the earth.
The smile of God's light is like a niche in a globe of glass, 
the globe of glass as if it were a shining star,
lit from a blessed olive tree neither of the East nor of the West,
it's light nearly luminous even if fire did not touch it.
Light upon light!
God guides to this light whomever God will:
and God gives people examples;
and God knows all things."
--Qur'an 24:35
