So, if you believe in Buddhism, you have no
problem with what kind of religion you should believe
in. All the religion you will believe in, at the same time, will be Buddhism,
if you understand it properly. But because you cling to one teaching
only, forgetting all the rest of the teaching, or if you cling to the teaching just because your teaching is lofty, then you
will lose the true meaning of the teaching. Even though your
religion is good, if you think your religion is good but the rest of
the teaching is not good, it means you ignore the rest of the
truth.----------------------------------------------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 67-10-00 as found on shunryusuzuki.com.
