The multitude, owing to ignorance, see only through the eyes of the flesh which yield the five sense-cognitions. They see things as separate and each with its own nature. This is the false-self, and they cling to it.

When one learns to see through the eye of wisdom, these so-called separate things are unreal, illusory, and only that which man calls 'God' is real and that all things are a part of it, inseparable from it. The ignorant pursue names while that which they seek is reality. Nevertheless, though al objects are devoid of reality, they are objects of experience; they are seen, touched and tasted, and should be respected.

From clinging to perceptions there arises dispute, but if there is not clinging, what dispute will there be? He that understands that all views, clung-to or not, are in truth of the same nature has already become free of ignorance. The man or woman who understands this does not cling to anything; does not imagine that this alone is true and not that; does not quarrel with anyone; knows that all individual create their own reality.

If one does not accommodate other doctrines, does not study them, does not accept them, he is indeed ignorant. Thus then, all those who quarrel and contend are really devoid of wisdom. Why? Because they refuse to accommodate the views, beliefs and realities of others. That is to say, there are those who claim they have the only truth; they say that what they speak is the highest, the real, the pure truth; that the doctrines of others are words, false and impure. Allow them their truth. God is. All else is concept and conjecture.

Whosoever makes no judgements, is kind and compassionate, and greets each day with joy, best manifests the unconditionally loving nature of the Source of all life, consciousness and energy.

Here are the words spoken by the Venerable Cha of Thailand to a western monk returning home: "It is beneficial to speak about the Buddha's teaching to those who inquire. And when you explain it, why not just call it Christianity? They won't understand if you say anything about the Buddha in the West. What we are really teaching is how to be free of suffering, how to be loving and wise and filled with compassion. This is the teaching anywhere, in any language. And it is the true purpose of every religion that we know this in our hearts. So just call it Christianity. Then it will be easier for some of them to understand.
