Matthew 7:12, The Golden Rule

April 17, 2011December 4, 2012

So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.

//If there is any universal teaching among religions, it is human respect and the Golden Rule. Today, let’s celebrate our common denominator:

Brahmanism: “This is the sum of duty: Do naught unto others which would cause you pain if done to you.”

Judaism: “What is hateful to you, do not to your fellow man. That is the entire Law; all the rest is commentary.”

Jainism: “The essence of right conduct is not to injure anyone.”

Taoism: “Regard your neighbor’s gain as your own gain, and your neighbor’s loss as your own loss.”

Islam: “No one of you is a believer until he desires for his brother that which he desires for himself.”

Buddhism: “Hurt not others in ways that you yourself would find hurtful.”

Confucianism: “Is there one maxim which ought to be acted upon throughout one’s whole life? Surely it is the maxim of loving kindness: Do not unto others what you would not have them do unto you.”
