Nous sommes interpellés Cette rencontre est une chance.

Entre le Bouddha, Mahomet et Christ, la différence est celle de la filialité divine 3ème thèse Ce qui différencie le Bouddha et Mahomet personne mais aussi leur vie. La différence du Christ touche non seulement leur entre eux, c'est I ‘absence ou non de péché 4ème thèse La différence entre le Bouddha et Mahomet d'une part, et Jésus-Christ de l'autre, est celle qui existe entre la religion et I ‘Evangile 5ème thèse Le message de Jésus I ‘emporte de loin sur les doctrines de Mahomet et du Bouddha ou encore sur celles de 'hindouisme 1° Quant à la connaissance du divin 2° Quant à la connaissance de I'homme 3° La voie du salut 6ème thèse La différence entre Jésus-Christ d'une part, et d'autre part le Bouddha, Mahomet et I‘hindouisme, est celle qui existe entre la rédemption et l'autodélivrance 7ème thèse Le Bouddha, Mahomet et tous les fondateurs de religion sont morts.

Aucun fondateur de religion n’est à même de satisfaire cette aspiration, ce que prouvent les efforts que chacun impose en vue d'obtenir le salut.
