"当你成为一个真正快乐的佛教徒时，也会在一定程度上成为一个基督徒，因为你承认其价值并认为它是属于你的。"
— Thich Nhat Hanh
Simplified Meaning:
If you're really happy and satisfied as a Buddhist, you might also appreciate and take on some Christian values. This means you recognize that other beliefs can also have good teachings, and you see them as a part of your own understanding. For example, think about when you genuinely love learning. If you're truly curious, you don't just stick to one subject like math or history; you find value in all different subjects because they all help you understand the world better. In the same way, a happy Buddhist can see and acknowledge the wisdom in Christianity without needing to convert or change religions. It’s like respecting and embracing the best parts of different cultures. So, in your own life, this advice encourages you to look for the good and valuable lessons in various perspectives, even if they aren’t your main focus. It helps you to be more open-minded and inclusive, leading to richer personal growth.
