"with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host" - What the Buddha Said

Tokyo Bay in Winter...


What the Buddha Said

The Buddha said, "Don't rely on anything but yourself and the truth of the universe."

Christ Jesus said to love your God with all your heart, mind, ability, and power and love your neighbors as you love yourself.

What I think is that you had come to be owned by somebody before you came to own yourself, and if that somebody is God while you rely on yourself or love yourself, their teachings simply mean that what is God's must love God or rely on God only.

If you don't love your neighbors, it means what is God's doesn't love another entity that is also God's. As it is a big discrepancy, you would naturally love your neighbor.

So, the Buddha said, "Don't rely on anything but yourself and the truth of the universe, since others might not be your neighbors or might be an enemy of the truth of the universe," in my interpretation.

Luk 2:13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Luk 2:14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
Luk 2:15 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.
