TAO vs. Religion

06. What is ranking of the five orthodox religions in the world?

Sages’ preach varies in accordance with peoples, times and locations. Although the ways that the five orthodox religions elaborating the truth vary, their objective is only one—to lead people to recognize and practice truth, to recover their own nature that is benevolent and highest excellent, to return to the origin of the Myriad Things.

The truth that the five orthodox religions describe is supreme. The sages of the five orthodox religions are the most enlightened people among human beings. But we the followers are stupid and narrow-minded. A practitioner who does know about the essence of religion, who does not reach the highest spiritual level, is not entitled to comment on the ranking of these religions, or to criticize the sages. Those who willingly incited conflicts and resentments between religions are ignorant and arrogant devil wearing religions’ coat. Even they look sincere, they are absolutely not the ones who really understand and believe their religions, and of course, are not disciples of sages.
