世界名人谈佛教
尊重其他宗教
一个人不应该只尊重自己所信奉的宗教而去诋毁他人所信奉的宗教,然而,为了这样或那样的原因,他必须要尊重他人的宗教。那些只尊重自己的宗教而去诋毁其他宗教的人,的确出于对他自己宗教的虔诚,以为这样就是在颂扬他自己的宗教。然而恰恰相反,他却极大地伤害了他自己的宗教。——阿育王
Respest other religions
One should not honour only one’s own
religion and condemn the religions of others, but one should honour
other’s religions for this or that reason. Whosever honours his
own religion and condemns other religions, does not indeed through
devotion to his own religion, thinking "I will glorify my own
religion". But on the contrary, in so doing he injures his
own religion more gravely. ~Emperor Asoka
