A while back ago Guru Vajradhara was interviewed by a Digital Media Broadcasting Agency based in Himachal Pradesh, The Search Report News or TSR News on Mystic Search. The interview is now published which I’d like to share with all our devotees and followers.
The interviewer started by asking Guru Vajradhara’s opinion on universality of religions and confluence of numerous religions into one common message.
Guru Vajradhara stated that there is no living being who likes to suffer and who doesn’t like to be happy. That is the common wish for all. In basic nature, everyone, religious or not, if their effort and motivation is focused on fulfilling this common wish, that is confluence. Other than that, everyone should maintain their own tradition, identity so on and so force which is what make humanity so beautiful, wonderful and rich. That’s the Unity and Diversity of religions.
Guru Vajradhara emphasized that Unity should be everyone focusing on helping themselves and helping everyone to achieve happiness and also for everyone to avoid suffering as much as possible.
Some of the interviewer’s questions include:
- What’s the message of Lord Buddha’s teaching?
- How to get rid of our hidden ego-pride?
- How do we differentiate spirituality and religions?
- We talk about compassion and universal love, why are there so much war in the world?
Guru Vajradhara used a very good analogy and illustrated skillful means in tackling hidden ego for individual practitioners, which is not to be missed.
May all benefit by listening to Guru Vajradhara’s words of wisdom.
