What is the traditional religious ethics in the West?

First of all, learn to respect practitioners of other religions. Just like we are studying in different universities, the goal is the same, and there is absolutely no difference. All beings are equal and have the freedom to choose what they think is good and not harm the rights of others.

Secondly, we should not neglect the basic responsibility of being a man because of religious belief. Some believers neglect their families because of their fanaticism about religion and devote all their time to religion. In the end, their families were not harmonious. His family hates religion even more and thinks it is evil. He robbed his family of happiness. Since we are lucky enough to be born, we have basic responsibilities and obligations to fulfill. Family perfection is the most basic obligation for people to live in this world. Life is meaningless without her.

Finally, the child's religious belief. Personally, I think it is best to communicate with them in a guiding way and teach them correct religious ideas. Parents should not convey religious beliefs by coercion. Children are other individuals and have freedom of belief. Parents should respect him as the leader of their own lives, and holding this principle is the spirit of "religion is equality and freedom".

2. The concept of sympathy:

All religions cherish sympathy and fraternity. We should treat everything with the essence of compassion and fraternity, and do good regardless of religion. The so-called "no pity, no pity" is the best hint. The gathering between people is fate. Without the support of others, there would be no achievement for me. Unfortunately, people's greed, anger and delusion strongly support human nature, and material desires and profit desires have seriously eroded human nature. In this era when the strong survive and the weak perish, we might as well think more about the above sentence, give more warmth to others and create more priceless happiness for ourselves.

3. The concept of wisdom:

Religion is like a philosophy. We should face it sincerely and study it with wisdom. There are many unfortunate examples in this society, which show us that some people have the opposite ideas about religion. These people probably misunderstood the true meaning of religion, just like the older generation of aunts. They think that the richer the three sacrifices are, the more blessed they will be. This is a serious mistake. They think religion is a business transaction. The purpose of practicing religion is to let us ordinary people know about life and death, purify human nature and cultivate self-cultivation. Religion will never ask us to abandon our wives and children and practice, and deviate from the due responsibility of human beings and the common sense of the universe. Sadly, some people use religion to cheat money and women, and even cause wars to kill many lives. Therefore, as a religious believer, we should judge the difference between belief and superstition with a broad view of wisdom so as not to go astray. There is absolutely nothing wrong with religion. What is wrong is that human beings misuse it.

4. Views on karma:

The formation of the universe is the basis of karma. The reincarnation of all beings is also a combination of karma. Some people advocate the "theory of no cause", saying that the wealth, ignorance and suffering of life are all accidental. It is a decadent optimist who holds the view that "there is wine today and drunkenness tomorrow, and there is no money tomorrow and sorrow tomorrow". There are also some people who advocate the theory of "destiny" and think that everything in life is doomed and unchangeable, even if efforts are futile, they live a negative and pessimistic life. According to the Buddha's law, personal poverty in this world is caused by the "karma" created by everyone in the past. However, because I am trying to do good now, I can change at any time, rather than being doomed to be immutable. Past lives, this life and the afterlife may be a little far away. Let's not talk about it for the time being, and then think about it carefully. Yesterday is not a past life, today is this life, and tomorrow is the afterlife. The cycle of karma in the universe is an immortal law. Will plum blossoms accidentally pop out of the stone? With this understanding, we still have nothing to complain about. Looking at religion and life with an open mind and a broad vision, when performing naturally on the stage of life, will you pay too much attention to the friction, frustration, distress, failure and gains and losses between people? No, because our heart will always be like a mountain overlooking the future, like a mirror, like a calm and calm lake, and those adversities in life are like the spring breeze blowing across our cheeks and the waves of autumn wind sweeping across the lake. Without adding some sour, sweet, bitter and spicy food, is this delicious dish of life delicious enough?

Religion is like the spiritual index of our life, the philosophy of life, the policy of treating people and things, and the standard of human morality. I would like to ask you, what would the world be like without the guidance and restraint of religion in today's society? Today, I was fortunate to hear the wonderful speeches of all the seniors present on Christianity, Catholicism, Buddhism and other major religions, which gave me a deeper understanding. Thank you very much. From my personal point of view, it is best to cultivate religion with a "normal heart". If we can always choose our favorite religion to practice with a "fate" mentality, cherish every moment and everything we have with a "fate" care, listen to the experiences of practitioners of different religions sincerely, accept him with a sincere belief and explore his true meaning, then we will not fall into the sin of superstition and misunderstanding of religion. "Buddha is in your heart" and "Jesus is with you" not only show that we are not practicing in Buddhist temples or churches, but are everywhere. As long as we are sincere, he will accompany us.

"The sea is long, the world is sad, and it has not yet spread. Where is it? " How short life is! In this ever-changing stage of life, how should we play? Where is the fixed point of everyone's life values? Some people put wealth in the first place and think that with wealth, they have everything. Some people aim at lofty power, thinking that supreme power can be omnipotent and handy, and I will do everything. Hitler in Munich era and Stalin who ruled Soviet Russia for 30 years are good examples in modern history. Some people filled his life stage with love and warmth, some people wrote his life diary with romance and affection, and many endless plays are being staged on different stages. The experience of survival tells us that nothing that is alive is immortal. "Death" is an ironclad fact that no one can avoid. In our short life movement, should we fill in the money movement, write a beautiful love tune, or a delicious meal? Don't forget! You are an artist, and you can draw the world.

Thank you again for coming. I am an ordinary person, and my superficial knowledge is complicated and long. I would like to ask all people of insight to give us your advice and tolerance.
