________________ In order to really participate in a Interfaith Community I believe we need to look at being the most compassionate and understanding person we can be. In studying different faiths, I have found that some of the common threads that tie us all together include: Having compassion for all Love heals all In my studies, I have found out that non-violence (Ahimsa) for any living being at any time is without saying very necessary to have in an Interfaith Community. I have found out that Jains have the strictest code of non-violence and Reverence for all Live, which to me fits beautifully into the development of an Interfaith Community. And Relativity of Thinking is also necessary - being able to see the differences in each other's choices, and still respect those choices. This is just as important as seeing and experiencing the "sameness" or "oneness" of all. Having forgiveness for those you feel have hurt you Asking for forgiveness when you have hurt someone knowingly or unknowingly Being of service to others. We need to start with ourselves first. You cannot change the world outside yourself, if you are not working at changing yourself into a more compassionate being. Namaste, Think about how Interfaith Communities can start growing and what we can do towards this Realization. Chetana On the Wings of Light and Love - 59Page Navigation
