The Golden Rule

Baha’i Faith –  Lay not on any soul a load that you would not wish to be laid upon you, and desire not for anyone the things you would not desire for yourself.

Buddhism – Treat not others in ways that you yourself would find hurtful.

Islam – Not one of you truly believes until you wish for others what you wish for yourself.

Jainism       – One should treat all creatures in the world as one would like to be treated.
