Variations on the familiar "Golden Rule" are found in most world religions:

*    Christian version: "Treat others as you would like them to treat you"
(Luke 6:31, New English Bible).

*    Hindu version: "Let not any man do unto another any act that he wisheth
not done to himself by others, knowing it to be painful to himself"
(Mahabharata, Shanti Parva, cclx.21).

*    Confucian version: "Do not do to others what you would not want them to
do to you" (Analects, Book xii, #2).

*    Buddhist version: "Hurt not others with that which pains yourself"
(Udanavarga, v. 18).

*    Jewish version: "What is hateful to yourself do not do to your fellow
man. That is the whole of the Torah" (Babylonian Talmud, Shabbath 31a).

*    Muslim version: "No man is a true believer unless he desires for his
brother that which he desires for himself" (Hadith, Muslim, imam 71-72).
