Do you agree with this quote from the Dalai Lama?

 "...all religions are in general agreement. They all teach love, compassion, forgiveness, nonharm, contentment, self-discipline and generosity." From Approaching The Buddhist Path by The Dalai Lama and Thubten Chodron.

I don't really agree with that. I think a lot of so-called Christians don't believe in nonharm, and have practiced the opposite. Prime examples are the Crusades, to voting for Trump who did nothing to stop the spread of Covid that has killed 600K so far. People quibble about what percentage of those deaths are responsible for the inaction of a leader, but to me his holding the Bible up represents the death cult aspect.

I think there are many pagan religions that are willing to do harm. 

Before monotheism you prayed to a god in hopes that they would favor you, give you more power, and hurt your enemies. Whoever have the more powerful god won the war. Mostly though you hoped to not get trampled in the doings of the gods, like an ant. 

I think love was a later addition to the Bible. 

I'm not sure if the sectarian elements, the proselytizing elements are about contentment.

I wish all religions thought that way. I wish there were not so many counter examples. 

You could say that priests raping the young isn't a religious act, it's a worldly act, and doesn't touch spirituality, but they do use the word religion, and not spirituality, so I think religion has to bear the weight of actions done by it's representatives. That the church shielded, avoided justice, has meant it is now dealing with financial crushing, and the loss of real estate and influence.

The sexual scandals in Buddhism has crushed it's authority in America, and makes it seem like a sex cult. 

To say "True Religion" is to add an ad hoc wiggle. Either religion is what the people do in the name of it, or I don't even know what it is. It's not what you say, it's what you do. Are people imperfect and sinners? That's a version of Christianity. OK, so we're all sinners. Do the Christian sinners behave any better than others of other religions or atheists or non-religious people? Not sure how you would measure that. Do religions bind communities, provide support--quite often. There are many good aspects to religion, I'm not saying they're all horrible. I'm just not sure I agree with that quote.

Embracing the devil, or Mara in Buddhism, is about owning your shadow, not pretending that the dark side is isn't present. Padmasambhava pinned the local demons down, to get Buddhism into Tibet. You look at them in the full light of day, accept them, and work with them to act in your own best interest, in the interest of your community.

Now I am not giving the full quote. Here is the full quote, it makes more sense:

There are two aspects to each religion: one is transformation of the mind or heart, and the other is the philosophy that supports that transformation. I believe that in terms of transforming human beings’ minds and hearts, all religions are in general agreement. They all teach love, compassion, forgiveness, nonharm, contentment, self-­discipline, and generosity. No matter the religion, a person who practices it sincerely will develop these qualities. In every religion, we see many examples of ethical and warm-­hearted people who benefit others.The difference among religions occurs mainly in the area of philosophy.
