My Indian guru, Neem Karoli Baba, always admonished us to learn from everyone. No-one has a corner on the market of truth. 'All one' was his favorite maxim. He encouraged me to serve and apprentice myself to all sages, seekers, and saints, no matter what their denomination or belief system, for it is the heart of the matter that counts - the living spirit, not just the letter, of the law.The traditional elder, Kalu Rinpoche, once told me that he didn't believe that a seeker who had ties to Christianity or any other faith had to convert to Buddhism in order to practice Dharma. The truth, after all, belongs to anyone who cherishes it, lives it, loves it, and is committed to it.from: Awakening The Buddha Withinby: Lama Surya Das Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
