What is Religion? It's the relationship between the Creator and the Created for those who believe in Divinity. Others may consider it as an acceptable system in society by a group of people. Frankly does it matter? Better consider its implications, how it came about. History dictates that when in Society there is wide spread mischief, there rises a Man of noble virtue whom people recognize without dispute. They go to him for advice and to resolve their day to day issues. He then announces to his very close associates, a simple method for a Good Life that encompasses Society in General which is realistic and fair. Those in power who may lose some of their authority and privileges, may despise and oppose his preaching. Among others who oppose are those who are jealous, arrogant, wicked and ignorant. History is very clear on this. When you examine the teachings of these Undisputed Masters one will nd remarkable similarities and a unanimous conclusion that all are from one source; but over time it has got Distorted due to:
01

1. Wrong Understanding 2. Information lost in Time 3. Incorrect translation 4. Rivalry among disciples 5. Unable to correctly relate Teachings with changing Circumstances 6. Illusion of correctness based on majority acceptance and not on the authority of Worthy Followers who shun the lime light. 7. Powerful inuence by the State even using threat 8. Historical Settings at the time the passing away of the masters & immediately thereafter including administrative technological situation, competence of disciples and the receptiveness of the State for the New Master. What is the Best Religion? A beautiful reasoning is given below Your religion is not important Jun 3rd, 2010 by Bernie Schreck A brief dialogue between the Brazilian theologist Leonardo Boff and the Dalai Lama, which deeply touched me.
02

Here is what Leonardo, one of the renovators of the Theology of Freedom, recounts of this remarkable encounter: In a round table discussion about religion and freedom in which Dalai Lama and myself were participating at recess I maliciously, and also with interest, asked him: Your holiness, what is the best religion? I thought he would say: The Tibetan Buddhism or The oriental religions, much older than Christianity. The Dalai Lama paused, smiled and looked me in the eyes... Which surprised me because I knew of the malice contained in my question. He answered:

The best religion is the one that gets you closest to God. It is the one that makes you a better person. To get out of my embarrassment with such a wise answer, I asked: What is it that makes me better?
03

He responded: Whatever makes you more compassionate, more sensible, more detached, more loving, more humanitarian, more responsible, more ethical. The religion that will do that for you is the best religion I was silent for a moment, marveling and even today thinking of his wise and irrefutable response: I am not interested, my friend, about your religion or if you are religious or not. What really is important to me is your behavior in front of your peers, family, work, community, and in front of the world. Remember, the universe is the echo of our actions and our thoughts. The law of action and reaction is not exclusively for physics. It is also of human relations. If I act with goodness, I will receive goodness. If I act with evil, I will get evil.
04

What our grandparents told us is the pure truth. You will always have what you desire for others. Being happy is not a matter of destiny. It is a matter of options. Finally he said: inally he said: Take care of your Thoughts because they become Words. Take care of your Words because they will become Actions. Take care of your Actions because they will become Habits. Take care of your Habits because they will form your Character. Take care of your Character because it will form your Destiny, and your Destiny will be your Life and... There is no religion higher than the Truth. What is the Final Religion? The beautiful irrefutable reasoning above is complimented by the following FACTS:

05

To Act and Practice in what is said you need a set of simple Rules as something in one society which is considered Good may be considered Rude; Similarly from Food, to Behavior, Relationships, Rules when conicts arise etc all need to be addressed by Religion as by denition man is not Perfect and bound to err. Thus the following will help one understand the Final RELIGION! 1. The Religion itself will say it is the Final Religion. 2. It will not dispute any other Religion, except it will say all come from one source, and give a acid test to checkout the TRUTH from the FALSE 3. Prior Religions will indicate of a Final Messenger to Come. 4. The only reason of a Final Messenger to come will be because the older Instructions could have been lost over time, and it would have been for those People during that Time. 5. The set of Instructions will be indestructible, free of error and with a challenge to prove it wrong or to produce one like it.
06

6. It will be adoptable in every society and every instance and time and will be clear and very simple, and exible to meet the needs., including commerce, international affairs, human rights, animal rights, family, society, war, peace, believers, unbelievers, the weak the orphan the poor etc; The Oppressed & even the Oppressor. 7. You need not be intelligent to understand the basics. 8. It will be concise yet contain so much information it will continue to fascinate Man who will be stuck with Awe 9. The Person and the People from whom the Rest of Humanity will learn will be the most unlikely people any human can imagine. 10. The example of the Final Messenger will also be a example to all living Being. 11. All messengers will speak well of other messengers, and the Final One will be unbelievably Merciful, and Perfect in every Human Way, living a full life as an example, that every person can follow 12. The Faithful will not worship Created Things or use them as intermediaries.
07

13. The Purpose of life will be well understood and they will live a life of Tolerance with Morality and Protect the weak and Innocent people will be safe from Cruelty, unfairness and Deceit 14. Like you cannot judge a car by its driver, religion cannot be judged by its followers. Only by its scriptures & the character & practices of its messenger.

1. I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. John 16:12-14 2. Woe to those who make unjust laws, and who issue oppressive decrees Isaiah 10:1 3. The pen of the scribes is in vain Jeremiah 8:8

Islam 1. verily I will preserve it Qur'an 15:9, 2. there is no crookedness Qur'an 18:1 3. Faith has over seventy branches, the most excellent of which is the declaration that there is only one Creator of all that exists, and the humblest of which is the, removal of what is injurious from the path:. Muslim bk1 Hadith56: Buddhism 1. "There is another great prohibition which I declare to you: An ordained disciple must not boast of any superhuman perfection. The disciple who with evil intent and from covetousness boasts of a superhuman perfection, be it celestial visions or miracles, is no longer a disciple of the Sakyamuni. I forbid you, O bhikkhus, to employ any spells or supplications, for they are useless, since the law of karma governs all things. He who attempts to perform miracles has not understood the doctrine of the Tathagata 2. I am not the rst Buddha who came upon this Earth, nor shall I be the last. The truth is our hope and comfort. All the Buddhas are one in essence, Some form their Dharma arbitrarily and fabricate it articially;
09

they advance complex speculations and imagine that good results are attainable only by the acceptance of their theories; yet the truth is but one; there are not different truths in the world. All the Buddhas teach the same truth. They point out the path to those who go astray. 3.Illusions, errors, and lies are the daughters of Mara, and great power is given unto them to seduce the minds of men and lead them astray upon the path of evil Hinduism 1.There is no image of Him. it further states 2 As He is unborn, He deserves our worship Vajurveda 32:3 2.True knowledge can only be attained by a human being Krishna 3.Those whose intelligence has been stolen by material desires worship demigods. Ghagwad Geeta 7:20 Judaism 1 What is hateful to you, do not do to your fellowman. This is the entire Law; all the rest is commentary. Talmud, Shabbat 3id 2The Lord is our God, The Lord is One - Shema, Hebrew Prayer 3Judge everybody favorably - the Talmud (Jewish sacred book)
