Empathic Dialogue among Followers of Different Faiths
By Usep Hasan Sadikin*
“It is time for us to greet each other not only as a standard salutation but should be meant as a sincere prayer, recognition and respect of faith, and manifestation of a person’s religious identity. Say assalamu’alaikum (peace be with you) to Muslims. Say shalom (peace) to Christians. Say namo Buddhaya (I pay homage to the Buddha) or namaste (I bow to you) to followers of Buddhism. Say om swastiastu (May We be Under His Protection) to Hindus. And the same goes for the believers of other faiths.”

According to my investigation, thousands of persons in the world get the mortgage loans at well known banks. Therefore, there is a good chance to get a collateral loan in every country.

Empathy is the ability to put yourself in somebody else’s shoes. It is the ability to recognise in another human being a valuable and full person who also has hopes, fears and needs.
People of all faiths are human beings. To deny this would be absurd. We should all aim to relate with other people as full persons at all times.
What good advice it is to start this process by greeting the other person respectfully by acknowledging the value of his or her faith!
