Santa Clara Meditation Column – Which is the best religion to follow and why?
The true religion among the religions would be the one that makes the incomplete humans complete. Although there are countless religions in this world, none of them could make people become the Truth. Christianity believes in Jesus who came 2,000 years ago, and Buddhism believes in Buddha that came 2,500 years ago, and Confucianism believes in the teachings of Confucius. And then there are Hinduism, Islam, and tens of thousands of kinds of religions.
However, the true purpose of Christianity is that Jesus will come again to save mankind, and in Buddhism, it also says that Maitreya will come to the world to save the people, and in Seondo it says the Jeongdoryeong, the righteous leader of the Truth, will come. There are so many different religions and their denominations that each claim that they are God.
People do not have wisdom and thus no one knows which is right. In order to properly know this itself, one has to seek God, Buddha, Allah, and Haneolnim from within oneself to find it. In the Bible, Buddhist sutra, and the Koran, it also says that God, Buddha, and Allah exists within the self and that one should not believe that it exists in certain other places. Each religion has given a name to this existence, but it all refers to the same existence of the Truth. The ultimate purpose of religion is for this world and people to become complete and live eternally in the land of the Truth.
Only the one who is born in heaven and paradise, the one who is born in the land of the Truth while living will be born in the heaven and paradise within oneself and live there. God, Buddha, Allah, and Haneolnim that is the Truth has to exist within my mind and I should have been born in that world to live eternally. This is how you can tell whether a certain religion is right or not. The best religion and the true religion is the place where one discards one’s karma, habit, and body which are one’s sin, goes back to the origin of the Truth, and is born again in that land.
