Just A Thought ~ THE NATURE OF SECTARIANISM

"Sectarianism, bigotry, and its horrible descendent, fanaticism, have long possessed this beautiful earth. They have filled the earth with violence, drenched it often with human blood, destroyed civilizations, and sent whole nations to despair. Had it not been for these horrible demons, human society would be far more advanced than it is now."

~ Part of a speech made by Swami Vivekananda, Indian Yogi & Philosopher (1863 - 1902), at the World's Parliament of Religions in Chicago in 1893 ~

This is no less true now than when it was spoken over 100 years ago ~ in fact, it is even more true. And yet, I still believe we are going in the right direction. Our Buddha-nature is still in place.
