    You might find the teachings of Bhuddism or The Baha’i faith to be enlightening. Their philosophies are remarkably similar.

      I did brush up on Buddhism amongst others during my youth, although not very deeply because I couldn’t do that for all religions without dedicating my entire life to that pursuit. Some things made sense, some are more contextual and require a certain lingual/cultural background/upbringing that I lacked, as is the case with most religions (mine included). A lot of nuance is lost in the translation. Not to mention that this was the early Internet and before machine translation was a thing. Most of that knowledge came from forum discussions, irc, and through books.

      As for the Baha’i faith: I’ll admit I’m not very familiar. I might look it up when I have some free time though!
