The only religion that has even come close to fulfilling that philosophy of peace, love, and fulfilment has been Buddhism...in 2604 years they have never had a religious war, an inquisition, or exhibited any other violent action as a religion.
In the words of Marco Polo about his travels to the East " I came in my travels to hear of a man named Buda, so good and pure was this man and his life that had he been Christian I am sure that he would have been a great saint of our Lord Jesus."
I am not a Buddhist but I can honestly say they make better christians than christians!
Epictetus " It is impossible to get a man to even begin to understand that which he thinks he already knows...the first path to true understanding is to get rid of thinking that you know, from there you can learn."
