Rely on the message of the teacher, not on his personality;
Rely on the meaning, not just on the words;
Rely on the real meaning, not just the provisional one;
Rely on your wisdom mind, not on your ordinary, judgmental mind. — Buddhism’s Four Reliances

The light shines brightest for me with Christianity because the message is always one of love, first and foremost. I don’t have to accept the literal words of the bible, but instead I work at understanding the meaning behind the words. And when I ask my heart what is true, the message of Christ’s life and death jumps out in clear and unmistakable terms.
Throughout history the Holy Spirit has worked through great messengers and teachers. I bet each of you have a few in mind, but each one would say, “It’s not my message, it’s the message of God I’m trying to convey.”
Wherever the light shines brightest for you, as Luis says, ‘that’s good enough for God.” Just remember its not the messenger its the message.
