A Christian priest went to Africa with the highest ideal to convert the heathen Africans into Christians. Halfway through, he met a lion, so he knew that his life was going to be finished. The lion said to the priest, "Now say your last prayer, alright?"

So of course the priest could do nothing else but kneel down and pray to God that Hes would save him from this terrible Christian lion. While he was saying and praying very hard, the lion also knelt down. The priest was very surprised and said, "I am praying to God because I want Hirm to save my life and my soul. What business have you to pray to God?"

So the lion said, "Well, we have to give thanks before a meal."

I tell you this story and by the way, we can kind of emphasize and learn something from even a joke. Because we human beings, are funny sometimes. Like one enemy prays, "God, let me kill them. Let me win over our enemy." And the other one prays the same thing, "Oh Buddha, or God almighty, help me to kill all of them today. Then I'll worship you forever and ever. You are my true God." So God just sits up there, stroking Hiers beard and doesn't know what to do, because both of them are Hiers children, especially when they believe in the same God, when they profess to be the same Christian people, Buddhists, Jews, Moslems or whatever.

We have different opinions, we have fights amongst ourselves on Earth because of different religious beliefs. But then even within the same belief, we fight with each other, and kill each other for the same God that we believe in. It happens around the world. In some countries, the Christians fight with each other. So what do you think God should do? If you were God what would you do? Today kill this one and the next day kill the other one? Because they both pray, "Please let us win over our enemy, kill them all, destroy them all."

So actually, we have to stop and rethink, that among these different religions it's really no good to fight with each other. If there is one God, just let people believe or not believe in Hirm the way they want. God will know. We don't have to compare who is who and which God is bigger than the other one, because we don't know Hirm. We only know Hirm through an opportunity of getting in touch with Hiers power. We know how Hes loves us, takes care of us every day.

Like through the Quan Yin Method, we know when we're in trouble, when we're in danger, we pray and then God comes. It doesn't matter in which form Hes appears to us to help us at that time of trouble. We know we always can rely on Hirm. That is how we know God; otherwise, we can never know Hirm enough.

Appreciate What We Have A Lion And A Priest
