' Similarities '...

"We do not look for gulfs when we compare religions,, rather we try to find similarities and unity.. This is the essential difference between the Chinese and Western viewpoints.. We firmly believe in the truism that all faiths are paths leading toward the Ultimate Reality,, just as the spokes of a wheel converge to its axis." ...................... Abbot Mingzing in Whitall N. Perry _A Treasury of Traditional Wisdom_ Varanasi: Indica, 1998, (1971), p. 802
