Buddhism has been regarded as the boldest and most fruitful experiment in spiritual realization made from time to time in India. It has tremendous influence upon the religious, philosophical, moral, and cultural spheres.The Buddha advises us to compare ourselves with others, and on this basis, not to harm others. As he says, all beings are the same in that they want to be happy, not to suffer, and in that they are afraid of death. Comparing ourselves with others, we should not harm others, as we would not want anyone to harm us. This is a teaching in which the Buddha describes a kind of “golden rule” of comparing ourselves to others.
