You will find the Truth only when you have
found an Enlightened Master. The problem is not with the religious sects.
All of them are good, but it is best to find an Enlightened Master.
[Applause] There were many religious paths in ancient India, but why
did people follow Shakyamuni Buddha? It was because He was an Enlightened
Master. By following my teachings in spiritual practice, you don't have
to change your religious belief. Catholics may continue to believe in
Jesus Christ and God; Buddhists may continue to believe in the highest
Buddha, who is also God. The highest God is the highest Buddha; the
only difference is the name by which they are known. All we have to
do is believe in the Supreme Power within; there is no need to change
anything.

If
everyone truly practices what the Bible or the Buddhist Sutra teaches,
they will never quarrel with each other, and all religions will be happy
with each other and celebrate in the same church. The Pope will come
to the temple, the monks will go to the church, and there will be no
problems.
There's
only one religion - that is the religion of God, of love, of understanding.
There's only one church, one temple - that is the temple of enlightenment.
Come to that temple, and then we will know all religions of the world.
