More From Salman Rushdie

It is often said that the buddha's teaching is only a raft to help you cross the river, a finger pointing to the moon. don't maistake the finger for the moon. the raft is not the shore. if we cling to the raft, if we cling to the finger, we miss everything. we cannot, in the name of the finger or the raft kill each other. human life is more precious than any ideology, any doctrine.

Are you still thirsting? christ gives the invitation not only to others but to you. he is the fountainhead. he has died and is risen. he offers the only way to eternal life, asking only that you admit your need, raise the empty hands of faith, and accept his gift. what is eternal life? it is meaning in life now as well as living one‚s life forever. drink deep. jesus offers a brimming cup.

Faith and daily life, faith and work-these are not separate things. they are one and the same. to think of them as separate-that faith is faith, and work is work-is theoretical faith. based on the recognition that work and faith are one and the same, we should put one hundred percent of our energy into our jobs and one hundred percent into our faith, too. when we resolve to do this, we enter the path of victory in life. faith means to show irrefutable proof of victory amid the realities of society and in our own daily lives.
