Just A Thought ~ LOOK FOR THE COMMON DENOMINATORS

All religions are afflicted by sectarianism, with all the acrimony and ill-feelings that accompany it. Although Buddhism is spreading in the West, unfortunately, it is along sectarian lines, and sectarianism comes from the idea that 'our way is right and other ways are wrong'; there is also fear that others might be right and we wrong, but we dare not acknowledge this.

The only way to overcome sectarianism is to focus on universal realities and things we have in common (and there are more than we realize), things that unite us rather than divide us.
