Some version of the Golden Rule is found in nearly every religion. For example:
Buddhism: “Hurt not others with that which pains yourself.” (Udana-Varga)
Christianity: “All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.” (the Gospel of Matthew)
Hinduism: “This is the sum of duty: Do naught to others which if done to thee would cause thee pain.” (the Mahabharata)
Islam: “No one of you is a believer until he desires for his brother that which he desires for himself.” (Hadith)
Judaism: “What is hateful to you, do not to your fellow men. That is the entire Law; all the rest is commentary.” (the Talmud)
