Arguably, the very reason for the Divine Incarnation is that God desired to share the joy of God with all humans. The only challenge is, are we willing to accept it?

One key point in cultivating peace may be found in the word “justice.” Justice is often mentioned in the Old Testament as an attribute of God in the way that God always judges with fairness and mercy. So how would a human being cultivate justice?

There are many times in human history when certain things that most people believed to be impossible became possible while other possible things turned out to be impossible. The truth is that human beings are not capable of judging what is possible and what is impossible.

Some may ask, “what have I received to be thankful for in this life filled with challenges and problems?” To those people, Buddha may point out the importance of acknowledging the universal and essential gift that is shared with all living beings: life itself.

Among all of Jesus’s teachings, this might be the hardest: love your enemy. As far as I understand, it means neither to pardon all wrong doings of an evil person nor to force ourselves to have friendly feelings toward those who are actively hurting us. But like all of Jesus’s teachings, this concept has layers of meaning that are as relevant to people now as they were during his time.
