When you remove the beam from of your own eye, then you will see clearly to remove the splinter from your brother&#8217;s eye.\u201d All of us, brothers and sisters, need purification, and every religion needs purification as well. Buddhists, Christians, Hindus, Moslems \u2026 can best help each other by giving one another the good example of focusing on their own purification.<\/p>\n<p>Today we remember those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001. But how do we remember? Do we remember our brothers and sisters with the same hate that led to their deaths? Is more burning the answer? Or do we remember our brothers and sisters with acts of service? Couldn\u2019t the world use a lot more love? Isn\u2019t it time to heal?<\/p>\n<p>Those who died on September 11, 2001, including the terrorists, were victims of religious intolerance and fanaticism. The spewing hate from that day and from many centuries past and from all sides poisons our world. But by taking the beams from our own eyes, we can build bridges for the whole human family.<\/p>\n<p><object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"425\" height=\"350\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/U7wEctHyuc0&amp;rel\" \/><embed type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"425\" height=\"350\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/U7wEctHyuc0&amp;rel\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cYou see the splinter in your brother\u2019s eye, but you do not see the beam in your own eye.
