Religionist Should Be Gently
Film
8th January 2011
At the Rock Temple visiting a great many Buddhas, reclining, standing and cobra-hooded, I wait beside a sacred spot where prayers are offered (a great place for offering-nicking monkeys bottom-left) and see this sign, exhorting all those of different religions to remember that ‘good health is marked by a respect for all others regardless of religions or not’.
I couldn’t help thinking that some of the Christian ministers in the middle of America might be better people if they did the same.

Don’t hold your breath. They don’t even respect their own religion – or at least not its founder – much less any other religion or philosophy. Not bloody likely to change, either. Not cynical, just realistic.
It is unfortunate that the sign is necessary. (No one posts a sign about things that never happen. Any school I was subbing in that had a school rules sign beginning “In this school we keep our hands to ourselves” was a place where I knew there was a problem with pinching or fistfights.) It’s all about R E S P E C T.
‘Gentle Behaviour’ – never mind religion, just take THAT as your life philosphy and you’ll be fine…….
