The Author would like to apply a macro perspective to analyze and share with readers a new proposal that attempts to resolve the religiously triggered opposition and even antagonism between people.
He contend that religion is the main cause behind paradoxes in contemporary society. When we talk about paradoxes brought about by “religion”, we must clarify what “religion” is. The first chapter of this book offers a lucid definition of “religion”. Once we understand what religion is, we will have the opportunity to explore things from the unique angle of Buddhism and discover that all the religious devotees are looking for the Truth and should not discriminate against each other.
