	One of the central philosophies in Buddhism is the timelessness of self. The self always was, never wasn’t, always is, and always will be, never to cease existing. To even consider otherwise is simply counterproductive. In this mindset, much becomes meaningless: possessions, vengeance, greed, lust, responsibility, even love. However, it is just as large of sin to neglect the next world for this one as the other way around. The Fourteenth Dalai Lama once told Pope John Paul II that one thing he admired about the Christian Church was its dedication to social justice, that it was a virtue too long neglected among Buddhists. The greatest mission for any person must be to help another, to help all, to help self, or the world will surely crumble.		One of the central philosophies in Buddhism is the timelessness of self.

	[[Family]] is of sacred importance in Islam. The Prophet Mohammad declared to his followers: "Marry each other and produce new off-spring so that your numbers may increase." The Qu’ran demands that husband and wife be equal in marriage and that the husband should treat his wife with kindness. It demands the same of parents to their children, and to children it demands respect for their parents. But what is it really that makes us love those that we share blood or affection with? Is it just biological, a by-product of [[evolution]]? Mothers of all species protect their young. Or is there more? Does God put that love in us, like a reflection of His love? Does it come from chemicals in the [[brain]]... or from the soul? This love keeps families together. Yet somehow there are forces that can tear that bond apart. Perhaps that is the greatest tragedy of our species.		[[Family]] is of sacred importance in Islam.

	"Worn-out garments are shed by the body; Worn-out bodies are shed by the dweller within the body. New bodies are donned by the dweller, like garments." These are the words of the Bhagavad Gita about reincarnation. Reincarnation is hardly unique to Hinduism. Perhaps the beliefs echo our lives. Every day gives us a new opportunity to [[Fate vs. free will\|become a new person]], for better or for worse. We can strip off the garments of hatred and revenge, tattered with overuse, and put on instead clothes of mercy and selflessness. Will we then become gods, as karmic rewards for our devotion to goodness? But why then take us away from the struggles of the world when we are at that point best suited to correct them?

	The Christian Gospels are filled with the stories of a man named Jesus of Nazareth, who performed a great many miracles. Perhaps most wondrous of all were his miracles of [[healing]]. He gave sight to the blind. He made the lame walk. He cast out demons. And he raised a man from the dead. Is this not enough to tell us that life is precious? That the human body, so complex and mysterious, is likely our most valued possession? And what about the soul? More than for healing the body, Jesus is credited for saving the soul. And what exactly is the separation between the two, if any at all?		The Christian Gospels are filled with the stories of a man named Jesus of Nazareth, who performed a great many miracles.

	Blood is life. Every religion has its ties to blood. The Aztecs performed human sacrifices as a tribute to the sun god Huitzilopochtli. Germanic pagan tribes performed ''Blóts'', sacrifices of blood. It is expressly forbidden to be consumed in Jewish and Islamic law. Christians believe that wine becomes the blood of Christ. The vampire myths all speak of the drinking of blood to attain immortality. Is it any surprise that we call the act of murder "shedding blood"? Or that we call our [[family]] "our blood"?
