Universal Religion

This 9"x 16" cloth scroll has a short teaching on love being common to all religions by H.H. the14th Dalai Lama:

       RELIGIOUS DIVERSITY
ALL RELIGIONS SHARE A COMMON ROOT
WHICH IS LIMITLESS COMPASSION
FOR THE SUFFERING
OF OTHERS.  IN SO FAR AS LOVE IS
ESSENTIAL IN EVERY RELIGION,
WE COULD SAY THAT LOVE IS A
UNIVERSAL RELIGION.  BUT THE VARIOUS
TECHNIQUES AND METHODS FOR
DEVELOPING LOVE DIFFER WIDELY
BETWEEN THE TRADITIONS.  I DON'T
THINK THERE COULD EVER BE JUST
ONE SINGLE PHILOSOPHY OR
ONE SINGLE RELIGION.  SINCE THERE
ARE SO MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF
PEOPLE, WITH A RANGE OF TENDENCIES
AND INCLINATIONS. IT IS QUITE FITTING
THAT THERE ARE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN
RELIGIONS.  AN THE FACT THAT THERE
ARE SO MANY DIFFERENT DESCRIPTIONS
OF THE RELIGIOUS PATH SHOWS
HOW RICH RELIGION IS.
