Garden: The Place That Brings All People Together

A wealthy, God-loving man wanted to build a building where people could come together and mingle. In this manner, he built a temple where different people could come and pray. However, he realized that only Hindus came to the temple. This made him miserable, so he built a beautiful mosque. In any case, just Muslims came to the mosque. The man’s wish for people of all religions to come to visit the temple was not fulfilled.

A friend suggested that he build a beautiful garden with colorful flowers and grass. When the man built such a garden, people of all kinds – Hindus, Muslims, Christians, young and old, men, women, and children – came to the garden. This strengthened the common harmony between people.
