Respect for the other

“…Whoever praises his own religion, due to excessive devotion, and condemns others with the thought “Let me glorify my own religion”, only harms his own religion. Therefore contact (between religions) is good. One should listen to and respect the doctrines professed by others. Beloved – of –the-Gods, King Piyadasi (Ashoka), desires that all should be well-learned in the good doctrines of other religions.”

(Ashoka, 304 B.C. – 232 B.C.)
