There is a remarkable parallelism in the world's great religions: You shall love your neighbour as yourself. JUDAISM: Leviticus 19.18 Treat others as thou wouldst be treated by thyself. SIKHISM: Adi Grandth Desire not for anyone the things that ye would not desire for yourselves. BAHÁ'Í FAITH: Gleanings 66 That nature is only good when it shall not do unto another whatever is not good for its own self. ZOROASTRIANISM: Dadistan-i-Dinik All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. CHRISTIANITY: Matthew 7.12 Not one of you is a believer until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself. ISLAM: Forty Hadith of an-Nawawi Hurt not others with that which pains yourself. BUDDHISM: Udana 5.13 Regard your Neighbour's gain as your own gain and your neighbour's loss as your own loss. TAOISM:T'ai Shang Kan Ying P'ien Never do to others what would pain thyself. HINDUISM: Panchatantra 3.104 Do not do to others what you do not want them to do to you. CONFUCIANISM: Analects 15.23 Carlisle Bahá'í Group http://www.bci.org/carlisle/truths.html Another Hindu precept that is very similar: Men gifted with intelligence and purified souls should always treat others as they themselves wish to be treated. (Mahabharata 13.115.22) The True Light http://www.thetruelight.net/SiteExplanation/quest/questofeveryheart3.htm Search terms used: "love thy neighbor as thyself" + "islam" "love your neighbor as yourself" + "islam" "love thy neighbor as thyself" + "hinduism" "love your neighbor as yourself" + "hinduism" Thanks for asking a very interesting question. If anything above is unclear, or if a link does not function, please request clarification *before* rating my answer so that I may offer further assistance. Namaste. pinkfreud |

Judaism also has a rabbinic paraphrase of the Leviticus quote, in the Talmud, Tractate Shabbat 31a. The great Hillel was asked by a potential convert to teach him the whole Torah while standing on one foot. Hillel replied, "What is hateful to you, do not do to your neighbor. That's the whole Torah; all the rest is commentary. Go study it!" --ravuri-ga |
