[B] All religions teach Universal LOVE at some point.
Also from the teaching of Buddha this can work well in terms of Universal Truth, hajurba:
6 “Here, householders, a noble disciple reflects thus:
‘I am one who wishes to live, who does not wish to die. I desire happiness and dislike suffering.
Since I am one who wishes to live who does not wish to die. I desire happiness and dislike suffering,
if someone were to take my life, that would not be pleasing and agreeable to me.20
Now, if I were to take the life of another—of one who wishes to live, who does not wish to die, who
desires happiness and dislikes suffering—that would not be desirable and agreeable to him, too.
What is undesirable and disagreeable to me [354] is undesirable and disagreeable to others, too.
How
can I inflict upon another what is undesirable and disagreeable to me?’
Having reflected thus, he himself refrains from destroying life, exhorts others to refrain from destroying
life, and speaks in praise of refraining from destroying life.
21
Thus, his bodily conduct is purified in three respects.22
The Discourse to People of the Bamboo Gate
Also a adventure to say no also about destroying life but harming life and beings in all its modes.
Thanks hajurba,
