More and more, religious persons are noticing, responding, and reaching out as they realize that each of them possesses "the mind that cannot bear the suffering of others." . . .
The religions, despite their astounding diversity, may have something in common after all. . . . If we can't really put our finger on what the religions all have in common within themselves, we can say that . . . even if the religions don't have a common essence, they can certainly recognize common problems.
