102 A UNIVERSAL RELIGION

Christ is not a Christian, Buddha is not a Buddhist.
Every religion is a different experience of that particular Master. It is just his way of expressing his own experience. Every Master is preaching the same message over and over again with different words. Just because Christ started Christianity, it does not make him a Christian. His religion is not Christianity alone. It belongs to the whole universe.
Look in
Do not think, 'I am Hindu, and every Buddhist teaching is wrong.' Do not think, 'I am a Jain and every Islamic teaching is wrong.'
Every teaching is the same. It is us who makes them different. Read the Dhammapada, the scriptures of Buddha with the openness and receptivity that he is the same as Shiva. Read the Bible, the scriptures of Jesus with the openness and receptivity that he is the same as Mahavira. Read the Holy Koran, the scriptures of Mohamed with the openness and receptivity that he is the same as Jesus. This is the right way.
