Sakka asked the Buddha: "Do different religious teachers head for the same goal or practice the same disciplines or aspire to the same thing?"
"No, Sakka, they do not. And why? This world is made up of myriad different states of being, and people adhere to one or another of these states and become tenaciously possessive of them, saying, 'This alone is true, everything else is false.' It is like a territory that they believe is theirs. So all religious teachers do not teach the same goal or the same discipline, nor do they aspire to the same thing.
"But if you find truth in any religion or philosophy, then accept that truth without prejudice."

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
I think I disagree with Buddha.
"But if you find truth in any religion or philosophy, then accept that truth without prejudice."
You actually seem to be agreeing here, by accepting the truths that your religion teaches. I believe in God and also in Jesus. I have a hard time with organized religions of the world and their seeming inability to accept change...
