View artist portfolioBeing in same mission “Peace and Love” the conflicts is as pick in the realms of religions. When the groups are deadly hated each-other; Muslim by Muslim (Shiya- Sunni, Conventional – Ahamedia) , Hindu by Muslim (Gurat, Aojudia), Muslims by Jews (Palestine) , Christian by Christian; of that time what happens in far east Japan? Even though origin different, the two religions Buddhism and Sintu are uniquely following in same house, by same family and even in same prayer room. I feel sorry when I think Jews-Christian-Muslim same in origin but feel proud by killing/ hate each other. My realization, Japanese example can encourage us to overcome the cultural and religious barrier, by uniting the religion and philosophy with devotion for peace, is not it?

I think that monotheistic religions (e.g. Christianity, Islam, Judaism) and Polytheistic religions (e.g. Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Shintoism) are fundamentaly different in terms of the attitudes on accepting other religions. Polytheistic religions tend to be inclusive; while Monotheistic religions exclusive. For monotheistic religions, accepting other religions contradicts their faith in their own religion.
Well, I think the last sentence of my previous comment sounds too assertive.
in fact its true to feel pity of these monotheistic religion. they make other people have little faith towards them. they turn God as a subject of war and conflict. Its a pity to fight in the name of religion, we go to church, temple, chapel, etc, For the sake of spiritual growth. Not to speculate religions of other people. If you grow spiritually, you won’t discriminate and create misunderstanding among ourselves. Lets share one world, one heart, one freedom. For all of us are one in spirit. We unite spiritually. Lets abolish this tendency of waging war because we enter different chapel. Our god is the lords of harmony, compassion and peace. Lets be his children.
