Under

WORLD RELIGIONS
- UNIVERSAL PEACE - GLOBAL ETHIC
|
| |
the
Malaysian Interfaith Network together with the
German Konrad-Adenauer-Foundation and the German Global |
| |
Ethic Foundation setup an exhibition earlier this
year which inspired me to publish a summary of it on
our website. |
| |
|
| |
The
Miami Green Resort consists of 557 condominiums and
their owners come from different continents, bearing |
| |
passports issued in more than a dozen of different
countries. By that our community is truly a
multinational and |
| |
multicultural one, which logically means also that
many of us live or follow a different philosophy.
Despite of that |
| |
and
well acknowledging the differences in our individual
approach to life, we may have more in common... |
| |
|
| |
The
message of the above exhibition for example was/is
that all religions and belief systems have this in
common: |
| |
|
● Treat others as you would
like to be treated (i.e. the so-called Golden Rule); |
| |
|
●
Every human being must be treated humanely; |
| |
|
●
Have respect for life; |
| |
|
●
Deal honestly and fairly; |
| |
|
●
Speak and act truthfully; |
| |
|
●
Respect and love one another and be responsible for
your partner's happiness. |
| |
|
| |
One of the perceptions
I won from our AGM in May 2006 was that many
neighbours acknowledged the interest |
| |
in more social
activities - the reason why we spontaniously founded
a "social activities sub-committee" which
|
| |
hopefully will come
into life soon...? - it encourages to believe also
one thing that |
| |
|
|
| |
 |
...Miami Green is on
the tracks to become a neighbourhood of a special
kind, |
| |
where the
acknowledgement of differences simultaneously has
created an |
| |
environment of
tolerance, respect and understanding
...let's make it happen!! |
| |
|
