Here's a book excerpt:
The Golden Rule is the foundation of the message of the great religions. The Golden Rule is found in every major religion that exists in the world. It is one of the foundations of Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and Zoroastrianism, Buddhism, and Taoism. "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you" or “Treat others the way you want to be treated”. Later in this book, I will explain why this is the formula for human happiness. In addition to the Golden Rule, there is also the 'Silver Rule' which states the Golden Rule in the negative: “Do not do unto others what you don't want to have done unto you.” Here is the Golden Rule (and the Silver Rule) as they appear in all the world's major religions:
All things whatsoever you would that men should do to you, do even so to them; for this is the law and the prophets. Christianity
Hurt not others in ways that you yourself would find hurtful. Buddhism
Harm no other beings. They are just your brothers and sisters. Buddhism
Regard your neighbor's gain as your own gain and your neighbor's loss as your own loss. Taoism
What is hateful to you, do not do unto your fellow man. That is the entire law; all the rest is commentary. Judaism
This is the sum of duty: Do naught unto others that which would cause you pain if done unto you. Brahman
"A man should wander about treating all creatures in the world as he himself would be treated." Jainism
"Men gifted with intelligence and purified souls should always treat others as they themselves wish to be treated." -- Hindu Mahabharata
Surely it is the maxim of loving-kindness: Do not do unto others what you would not want to have done unto you. Confucianism
One should never do wrong in return, nor mistreat any man, no matter how one has been mistreated by him. Socrates
The seven-word expression, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself", appears seven times in the Bible.
That nature alone is good which refrains from doing unto another whatsoever is not good for itself. -- Zoroastrianism
If your eyes be inclined to justice, choose for your neighbor that which you would choose for yourself. Bahai Faith
Do unto all men as you would wish to have done unto you, and reject for others what you would reject for yourself. (Reported by Abu Dawud) Islam
“Philosophers have been speculating on the rules of human relationships for thousands of years, and out of all that speculation,
there has evolved only one important precept. It is not new. It is as old as history. Zoroaster taught it to his followers in Persia twenty-five hundred years ago. Confucius preached it in China twenty-four centuries ago. Lao-Tsu, the founder of Taoism, taught it to his disciples in the Valley of the Han. Buddha preached it on the bank of the Holy Ganges five hundred years before Christ. The sacred books of Hinduism taught it a thousand years before that. Jesus taught it among the stony hills of Judea nineteen centuries ago.
summed it up in one thought- probably the most important rule in the world: "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you."
