宗教有很多,但是宗教的真实只有一个


宗教有很多,但是宗教的真实只有一个。日子有很多,但是太阳只有一个。喷泉有很多,但是泉源只有一个。枝桠有很多,但是树只是那么一棵。

神圣宗教的基础是真实,假如没有真实,就不会有宗教。亚伯拉罕欢呼真实,摩西发布真实,耶稣建立真实。穆罕默德是真实的使者。巴孛是真实的门。巴哈欧拉是真实的荣光。真实只有一个,它不接受多样性或分歧。真实又好比太阳,从不同的升起点发出亮光;它也可以比作光,照亮许多灯笼。

因此,假如宗教探讨真实,寻找本身根本的真实,它们将会互相认同,不会发生异见。

——阿博都巴哈

李开璇译(2015年10月17日)


Religions are many, but the reality of religion is one. The days are many, but the sun is one. The fountains are many, but the fountainhead is one. The branches are many, but the tree is one.

The foundation of the divine religions is reality; were there no reality, there would be no religions. Abraham heralded reality. Moses promulgated reality. Christ established reality. Muḥammad was the Messenger of reality. The Báb was the door of reality. Bahá’u’lláh was the splendor of reality. Reality is one; it does not admit multiplicity or division. Reality is as the sun, which shines forth from different dawning points; it is as the light, which has illumined many lanterns.

Therefore, if the religions investigate reality and seek the essential truth of their own foundations, they will agree and no difference will be found.
