Question 40: IN THE HIGHER REALMS, DO THE DEITIES OF DIFFERENT RELIGIONS KNOW EACH OTHER?

Answer: Most deities are created by human imagination, so followers often do not have a clear understanding of what these deities are truly like and simply believe what they have been told. Each religion has its own deities due to the differing perspectives of its religious leaders. If these leaders achieve enlightenment and can perceive the heavenly realms clearly, they will understand the deities as unified and harmonious, without division by religion.

In the human realm, we tend to distinguish between people of different religions, but in the higher realms, deities only differentiate between those who are virtuous and those who are not. The deities do not require human beings to know them accurately to offer assistance; instead, they decide to help based on people’s morality and virtue.
