Buddhist-Sufi Interfaith :Buddhism instructs human beings not to personalize or privatize the six sense organs, the six sense fields and the six sense consciousness in order to know and see Buddha as the only Lord of Truth governing every human life. Sufism also instructs human beings through different religious pedagogy not to personize or privatize these eighteen elements too in order to know and see God as the only Lord of Truth governing every human life. This is fundamental communality between Buddhism and Sufism worth to be constantly contemplated upon until one intuitively discerns their Truth congruence. Personally, Sufism thus helps me remove two wounds in my life as a Buddhist. The first wound is my misunderstanding of Islam through the unnecessary fear of Islamphobia. Related to the fear of Islamophobia is infildelphobia, the second wound , caused by the false accusation of Non-Muslims against disbelievers as infidels . Both my wounds have been healed through my right knowledge of God through Sufism in terms of Panentheism . Thus, Sufism helps me understand the comprehensive panentheist definition of God in term of the ontology of Hayathology -. Hayathology (Theory of Becoming) is the Process Reality of the Ultimate Reality. There are two Professors who advocate Hayathology as the right view , right thought and conduct resonating with knowing and seeing the Ultimate Reality of a human personality in relation to the universe and the Lord of Truth known generally as God and Buddha . These two professors are Process Theist philosopher British Whitehead and Japanese Professor Yutaka Tanaka . Both of these renowned personalities verify my view of God and Buddha as the original communal tenet of all Tathagatas and Prophets . My read of their views of God by Whitehead and Buddha by Yutaka and Tanaka reveal that my understanding of God and Buddha in terms of Hayathology ( The Theory of Becoming). Hayathology in term of process becoming is a perfect view of God and Buddha in terms of the Double Truth of Non-duality or dependent co-creation of Double Truth. The general view of God perceived by the people in general in terms of the static classical theism that God is only external agency to author human destiny as the strict and fatalistic determinism. This is an incomprehensive definition of God. I am most thankful that Sufism has purified my right vision of God in terms of Panentheism with the aid of Buddhist middle philosophy. Panentheism is actually the Buddhist Madhyamika Thought of renowned Indian Mahayana Buddhist philosopher , Nagarjuna . What I am interested is not uphold the faith superiority of neither Buddhism nor Sufism. What I am concerned is to defend the original esoteric teaching of the unity of religion promulgated by all Tathagatas and Prophets . All Tathagatas and Prophets historically transmitted the same Message of eternal Truth to all tribes or nations in different earthly locations with different religious lifestyles to suit local customs, cultures, norms , individual differences or capacities or passions , and beliefs due to ancient geo-political distinctions.
