Hinduism’s Golden Rule

“This is the sum of duty: to do nothing to others which would cause them pain.” This is Hinduism’s Golden Rule.

The Golden Rule “means this: Treat people the way you would like to be treated. It’s golden because it’s so valuable—and a way of living your life that’s so simple, it shines,” says the grandfather in Ilene Cooper’s children’s book The Golden Rule. And, Cooper stresses that all of the major religions have a Golden Rule.
