On Buddhism, Sufism, and Liberation theology

Here are some one-liners for future reflection:

 Hazrat Inayat Khan says – lack of love is the root of all ignorance. [In other words,  love is a prerequisite of knowledge.]


Liberation Theology says – praxis precedes theoria (identification with the poor brings theological truth )


Buddhism says – compassion is the road to Nirvana (not just “me and my enlightenment,") Enlightenment is the overcoming of alienation (sin).
