Rwâneka dhâtu winuwus Buddha Wiswa,
Bhinnêki rakwa ring apan kena parwanosen,
Mangka ng Jinatwa kalawan Siwatatwa tunggal,
Bhinnêka tunggal ika tan hana dharma mangrwa.
It is said that the well-known Buddha and Shiva are two different substances.
They are indeed different, yet how is it possible to recognise their difference in a glance,
since the truth of Jina (Buddha) and the truth of Shiva is one.
They are indeed different, but they are of the same kind, as there is no duality in Truth.
-- Kakawin Sutasoma, canto 139, stanza 5
Tolerance between Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims, Jews and even Christians is of highest esteem, as much as the piety of like-minded followers of Allah, God, the Santana-Dharma, a,d the Buddhist Dharma.
