Before you choose any religion, ask this question - do you know what you want, what you have always wanted, what you will always want? What do you want?
Here is a simple story I have read and want to share:
If somebody lost their child, they wouldn't pray for money. They would pray for one thing and one thing only: "God, can you please have my child returned to me?" That's it.
If somebody has been told by a doctor, "You have cancer, you're dying," what do they pray for? Do they pray for higher education? Do they pray for another child? No. They say, "God, either make this as painless as possible or take away my cancer."
Let me tell you about a possibility as one human being to another. I propose that what you want in your life does not need a name. You can call it peace, you can call it happiness, you can call it liberation, you can call it joy - not a problem. Why? Because these are just different names for the same thing. When the heart is content, there will be joy. When the heart is content, there will be peace.
What is the difference between darkness and light? In darkness, you cannot see. When you cannot see, you cannot avoid the obstacles. All of the stumbling blocks, all of the obstacles on the road do not disappear when the sun rises in the morning. But you can see them, and, because you can see, you can avoid them. Light doesn’t take away obstacles; light illuminates them.
What do I give? Do I take away people's obstacles? No. I give them a lamp so that they can see, so that they can avoid what they want to avoid. That's how it is. That's what you need.
What does this being really want? This being has the most amazing aspiration it could ever have - to feel the infinite. This is the highest ambition: when a mortal wants to reach and touch and feel the immortal. That's an incredible but beautiful ambition

( 這是我在這裡答其他網友的一個問題的回覆, 相信可以作為補充你的補充 )
造物主創造了天地萬物, He (造物主) is a power, 不言亦不語, 祂藉着一切的受造物, 教導人類智慧。

另一方面, 人類也創造了一個世界 (這就是吃禁果的比喩), 這個世界一直發展至今天, 產生了各式各樣的問題, 縱觀我們的歷史,很多有心的人, have leant the wisdom in that silence, tried to save us from that miseries, (the following is my personal opinion) Jesus should be one, 老子 is one, 佛祖 should be one, and many others.

隨着這些人物的消逝, 衍生了各式各樣的宗教、學說、思想和哲學, 試圖解决人本身的問題, 以及人與人之間的問題。
這些宗教、學說、思想和哲學, 當然也發揮了各式各樣的作用, 但其中最根本的問題, 人都不快樂 ...

天主教或基督教, 向我們承諾了死後的天堂, 那麽今生又如何呢? 况且有沒有 next life 呢?
人不快樂的問題, 終究可以怎麼樣解决呢?

以下是我的嘗試,譯成了的中文版,謝謝。
在你選擇任何宗教之前,請問自己一個問題 – 你希望得到甚麼?
我剛剛看了一個單純的故事,也希望和大家分亨:
當一個人遺失了他的孩子,他們不會祈求金錢,他們只會祈求一樣及唯一的一樣東西:“上主,求祢給回我的孩子?”就是如此。
當醫生告訴一些人,“你得了癌症,快將死去,”你會祈求甚麼呢?你會祈求更高等的教育嗎?你會祈求多一個孩子嗎?不。他們會這麼說,“主啊,請使我免除這樣的痛苦,或求你清走這個癌症。”

作為人類,讓我告訴你一個可能性。這生命的需要是不需要名稱的。你可以稱之為和平,你可以稱之為快樂,你可以稱之為自由,你可以稱之為喜樂–沒有問題。為甚麼?因為都是說著同一個東西,只是用了不同的名稱吧。當這個心滿足了,那麼便有喜樂。當這個心滿足了,那麼便有和平。
黑暗和光明有甚麼分別呢?黑暗中,你看不見。當你看不見,你便不能避開障礙。當早上太陽上昇的時候,這些障礙并沒有消失,分別是我們可以看得見,因為我們可以看得見,所以我們可以避開這些障礙。光沒有清除障礙;光照見了這些障礙。

我給予甚麼呢?我是否為人清除障礙呢?不。我會給他們一盞燈,因此他們可以看得見,因此他們可以避開一切他們希望開的。就是如此。這是你所需要的。
人類真的需要是甚麼呢?人類沒有比這個更奇妙的渴求–感受那永恆。這是至高的野心:是當這會朽壞的渴望接觸和感受到這不朽的。這是一個不可思議而且美麗的野心。
