#2 One God - "The Peacemakers"
=========================================================
Religions throughout the ages have proclaimed that humanity is but one big family. Most of the principles followed by one religion are also echoed by another.

To help gain a better understanding of just how similar the various religions are, I present the following collection of writings based on the principle of "The Peacemakers"

Note, a different principle is introduced in each issue of the "Affirming Life" eZine.

Blessed are the Peacemakers: for they shall be called the
children of God.
- Christianity

When righteousness is practiced to win peace, he who so walks shall gain the victory and all fetters utterly destroy.
- Buddhism

How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good tidings, who publishes peace.
- Judaism

Shall I tell you what acts are better than fasting, charity, and prayers? Making peace between enemies are such acts: for enmity and malice tear up the heavenly rewards by the roots.
- Islam

The noble minded dedicate themselves to the promotion of peace and the happiness of others--even those who injure them.
- Hinduism

=========================================================
#3 Qigong; The Ancient Chinese
=========================================================
This ancient "practice" can take away stress, pain, and sickness at amazing speeds…leaving you with more energy.

"Like Yoga, Qigong teaches you to balance energy in your body. Master Chunyi Lin has developed an easy-to-follow program that will allow you to incorporate the health benefits of Qigong into your daily life."

- Deepak Chopra, M.D.
Best-selling author of "Ageless Body, Timeless Mind" and
"Quantum Healing"

#4 The Secrets of Heaven and Hell
=========================================================
The old monk sat by the side of the road. With his eyes closed, his legs crossed and his hands folded in his lap, he sat. In deep meditation he sat.

Suddenly his zazen was interrupted by the harsh and demanding voice of a samurai warrior. "Old man! Teach me about heaven and hell!"

At first, as though he had not heard, there was no perceptible response from the monk. But gradually he began to open his eyes, the faintest hint of a smile playing around the corners of his mouth as the samurai stood there, waiting impatiently, growing more and more agitated with each passing second.

"You wish to know the secrets of heaven and hell?" replied the monk at last. "You who are so unkempt. You whose hands and feet are covered with dirt. You whose hair is uncombed, whose breath is foul, whose sword is all rusty and neglected. You who are ugly and whose mother dresses you funny. You would ask me of heaven and hell?"

The samurai uttered a vile curse. He drew his sword and raised it high over his head. His face turned to crimson, and the veins of his neck stood out in bold relief as he prepared to sever the monk's head from its shoulders.

"That is hell," said the old monk gently, just as the sword began its descent.

In that fraction of a second, the samurai was overcome with amazement, awe, compassion and love for this gentle being who had dared to risk his very life to give him such a teaching. He stopped his sword in mid-flight and his eyes filled with grateful tears.

"And that," said the monk, "is heaven."
