All Shit Smells The Same

At my new job I had a chat with a coworker, which got me thinking about how all religions are basically the same.

I cannot think of any religion which does not promote kindness. Even Satanists, who are often villified as being against this, discuss showing compassion to children, animals and others and demands that one is aware of ones potential, both good and bad.

My co-worker informed me of the 3 ways of Buddhism elicited by their god, and it reminded me alot of Mormonism.

The first is the dharmakaya, which is considered the absolute and unborn truth. In Mormonism this could be described as the Celestial kingdom, which one can attain by being the best and believing in what they see as the true gospel.

The second, samboghakaya, is a state of enjoyment and involves "timeless communication". This might be seen in Mormon terms as the Terrestrial glory, where everyone exists in bliss and are able to connect with Jesus (I have heard conflicting accounts; either he lives on this plane, or visits peridocially)

The third, nirmanakaya, is our "phemenological reality". From what I was taught, the Telestial kingdom will still surpass anything in our materialist imagination, but on this plane one would be disconnected from the godhead, making it more like our earthly state.

Sorry for no picture. I couldn't even think of a proper tag for this post

This is Bishop Rick's take on how the Christian and Buddhist gods are similar.
