While saying that all religions are together as one, I said nothing but natural things that anyone can do like that love yourself or love your family. But that's OK, I guess now.
"Live naturally."
God is gracious. Buddha is mercy itself. Such merciful One cannot ask week humans like us for deeds which require superhuman efforts. Such gracious One like Him cannot force on us hard penance, hard stoicism, hard doctrine which only one out of a thousand can do. In fact, real happiness consists in common daily lives, natural deeds that anyone can do.
"God cannot burden so heavy with us!"
That's I have felt through various scriptures. Leave burdens to God, to Bodhisattva. Depend on God, fawn on Buddha, and do what you can do at your own pace.
"Depend on God. Fawn on God."
If you can do so, happiness will come of itself. But because we cannot do so, various religions show various ways. And in case one is bound by worldly desires so hard, drastic measures like penance are sometimes necessary. If only one can feel God's love, one may say,
"Why have I been worried about a thing like that so far?"
and say goodbye to the fake world where one cannot measure one's position and happiness without always comparing oneself with others and the blissful days will come when one does nothing but appreciate God with one's whole life. To be alive itself becomes absolute joy. Then worldly desires completely melt down, and one comes not to speak ill of others, and does nothing but hope for peace. Worldly desires do one harm, and as one who is bound with them is destined to perish of itself, you may give way mercifully to one who pushes one's claim by force. God is really tender. God created this world so that we need not try so hard and may take it easy, need not make so haste, need not be so greedy to become content enough and happy. And even now, throwing yourself on God, throwing yourself on Buddha, happiness will come of itself.
