🙏 Understanding Religion Beyond Names: One Truth, Many Paths
This is one of the most timeless and profound questions people ask: If there is truly one God or one Truth, why do so many religions exist?
Through the lens of Santa Clara Meditation and the teachings of mind subtraction, we discover that there is one original existence—the Truth—the Spirit and Soul of the universe (Jung and Shin). This divine existence is the creator and essence of all things. However, across cultures and eras, people gave this one Truth different names: God in Christianity, Buddha in Buddhism, Allah in Islam, and so on.
The division of religions stems not from Truth itself, but from the interpretations of people who had not yet become one with the Truth. These human interpretations created countless denominations and doctrinal differences, even within the same religion.
By emptying the false mind and returning to the origin, one can come to know the Truth that is universal and eternal—beyond religion, beyond interpretation.
Originally Answered: If there is one God then why there are so many religions?
In this world, there is the existence of God that is the Truth – it is the Spirit and Soul of the universe, the Jung and Shin. This existence is the existence that is the creator of all creations and the body and mind of the universe. In each place, they named this existence that is the Truth – Christianity named it God, Buddhism named it Buddhism, and Islam named it Allah. The reason why there are different denominations is that the people who interpreted the Bible did so without having become the Truth. Many denominations exist because of the interpretations that came from the wrong mind of people.
