Crossing The Boudaries? Or Still The Same Path?

Many Buddhist guy marry with a Muslim girl. Chinese girl with African guy. Blond with Indian? So much more of the combos to list at here..

Friend of mine, Philips. He married her wife in many years ago which is a Muslim. Later on he changed his religion from Buddhist to Muslim. But what I want to know is, will this make my friend Philips a betrayal of his origin religion? What he had prayed before, his beliefs, his cultures.. Just gone with the wind that carries his past.

So I decided to ask him to solve all my mysteries toward these intricacies. He replied, "we might look like betrayed our religion, but here's a question for you, which of the religion that known by the world is teaching us the bad & harming to peoples?"

I replied, none of them! So I realize, no matter what path you choose, where you belief belongs, which religion you stay? All is heading the same destination. As long as you being yourself, others isn't as essential as being yourself!

For example, from all the way our home to workplace, usually we'll taking one kind of road. But the usual road we used to take is congested, we'll use another road to reach our workplace. But no matter which road we're taking, we'll just heading to the same destination.

If today I am a Buddhist & ask for change religion, I won't be asking myself if it is right or wrong? Instead, I'll be asking is it worth it or not?

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then maybe a flexible thinking could result a thousand smiles!
