Quote:
I am a Christian. I am NOT a "political" Christian. However, whether you are Christian, Muslim, Hindu or Shinto, if you're doing it right, it's never about "arriving" it's about the journey.
I think that's true of Buddhism, but not really true of Christianity or Islam. They focus on salvation, which in their view means getting to heaven. Buddhists focus on expanding and deepening their consciousness through a process that involves many lifetimes. Christians and Muslims just want to get to heaven and will kill anyone who stands in their way or tells them their way might not be the right one.
