Every person belonging to any religion must try honestly to lead a life in accordance with the doctrine to which he subscribes. Even if he is not in a position to lead a clean life in consonance with his religious doctrine, at least, he must not use the name of the religion or let not exploit it by others for their selfish ends or for disintegrating the human society. Secondly we must promote better inter-faith understanding as to create workable degree of unity among all religions without distorting the uniqueness of each tradition. Thirdly, we must bring about another workable degree of consensus of fundamental spiritual values that touch every human heart and enhance greater understanding among the humanity. If it is not possible to bring about the above mentioned measures, I personally feel it would be better if all the religions disappear from the face of earth to minimize the division among man at least the power mongers and wealth maniacs find no religion handy to exploit in gaining their selfish ends. Let me repeat the caution. Beware of the most dangerous inclination of the power and wealth holders for exploting the culture, religion, scholars and religious personal, particularly, in developing nations. All the professors and religious workers should join hands and strongly oppose these foul moves which really threaten peace in the world. --Prof. Samdhong Rinpoche. samdhongrinpoche/en/role-of-religion-for-world-peace/
