Q: Do we need a particular faith to be a good human being and to keep the world safe and secure?
A: No matter wherever you are in this planet, Lovely people are always lovely from Cambodia to United States, all over Europe and across the world. They have no religious belief or faith but they have a good heart that is developed by human capacity of understanding and that is fine with everyone regardless of religion, race, faith, skin color, nationality and male and female. This is also the practice of wise and well-educated people across the world and the entire universe.
Wise and well-educated people need no religion, no particular faith and even no God but they need good moral quality, the quality of concentration and the quality of wisdom that must seriously and happily be developed in their hearts because they want peace, security and harmony that can be created by those kinds of qualities very practically. In my experience, religiously serious people are really aggressive and violent instead of being patient, tolerant, wise and nice because of their attachment to their own particular religion and belief.
The Buddha, the wisest Indian sage, who has been very well-known as “The Enlightened One” to all over the world, is always teaching us to be patient and tolerant by practicing good morality, concentration and wisdom so that we can achieve happiness, peace, and harmony within ourselves. Of course, when we achieve such qualities of happiness, peace and harmony within ourselves, you can imagine how the entire society will achieve those kinds of spiritual qualities. Only then will the society and the entire world live securely, peacefully, happily and harmoniously.
This is the Buddha’s Teaching I love so much and I have happily practiced for more than two decades and been teaching people the same way to do. No matter which religion you believe in, this practice doesn’t require a particular faith or belief but you just need moral quality, wisdom and knowledge to be a good human being and to keep the entire world safe and secure. I hope you get it.
