The Golden Rule

 

            BRAHMINISM:   This is the sum of duty.   Do naught unto others which would cause you pain if done to you.  (Mahabharata, 5, 1517)

            BUDDHISM:   Hurt not others in ways that you yourself would find hurtful.   (Undana-Barga, 5, 18)

            CONFUCIANISM:   Surely it is the maxim of loving-kindness:   Do not unto others what you would not have them do unto you.   (Analects, 15, 23)

            TAOISM:   Regard your neighbour’s gain as your own gain, and your neighbour’s loss as your own loss.   (T’ai Shang Kan Ying P’ien)

            ZOROASTRIANISM:   That nature alone is good which refrains from doing unto others whatsoever is not good for itself.   (Dadistan-i-dinik, 95, 5)

            JUDAISM:   What is hateful to you, do not to your fellow-man.   That is the entire Law;   all the rest is commentary.   (Talmud, Shabbat, 31a)

            CHRISTIANITY:   All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them;   for this is the Law and the Prophets.   (Matthew 7, 12)

            ISLAM:   No one of you is a believer until he desires for his brother that which he desires for himself.  (Sunnah)
