Lesson 12 (Golden Rule)
Description
“Lesson 12 (the Golden Rule)” is a text-based video projection based on various versions of the Golden Rule from many ethical traditions. The main source was a multi-faith poster showing the Golden Rule in sacred writings from 13 faith traditions designed by Paul McKenna of Scarboro Missions, which has been on display at the headquarters of the United Nations since 2002.
In our area of the world, most people are familiar with Matthew 7:12: “In everything, do to others as you would have them do unto you”. Similar statements can be found in the holy books of Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism, to name a few.
What I find fascinating is that people from all parts of the world and many different faiths agree on what we should do first to live an ethical life. Something that we can all be reminded of during this time.
