All the great Holy Scriptures of the world's many ancient religions say (in Spiritual Essence) the very same thing, but in different ways, to different cultures, speaking in different languages.

Buddha's teachings were actually no different from Yehoshua's; just as Zoroaster's were the same as Mohammed's, and Moses', and Nanak's.

It is only the Spiritually ignorant that seek and see differences ~ we may call them the religionists, or the Pharisees.

Yes, quite so. And all too often what people CHOOSE to see are differences. Differences in colour, differences in race, differences in culture, differences in language.

This is because those who see such differences are looking from a very low elevation (perspective) ~ speaking Spiritually. If they could see from on high, they would see as God sees, and there would be no such differences.
