THE GOLDEN RULE IN NINE RELIGIONS
I found in my library a letter from Professor Huston Smith in which he sets down the following versions of "The Golden Rule" as they appear in nine major religions:
Judaism
Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
Zoroastrianism
That nature only is good when it shall not do unto another whatever is not good for its own self.
Taoism
Regard your neighbor's gain as your own gain and regard your neighbor's loss as your own loss.
Islam
No one of you is a believer until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself.
Shintoism
The suffering of others is my suffering; the good of others is my good.
Confucianism
Do not unto others what you would not they should do unto you.
Christianity
All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them.
Buddhism
In five ways should a clansman minister to his friends, and familiars - by generosity, courtesy, and benevolence, by treating them as he treats himself, and by being as good as his word.
Hinduism
Men gifted with intelligence should always treat others as they themselves wish to be treated.
