In this report, popular love, love in Christianity, and mercy in Buddhism were studied and compared.
1. Popular love : Self-first love. When there is disappointment in the love shown, the deeper the love is, the
more violent the hatred shown ; leading to death on rare occasion.
2. Love in Christianity : Christianity is a connection between God, Jesus Christ, and a person. Love in
Christianity is expressed by the words of Jesus Christ, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your
heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment.” (Mathew
22 : 37-38). He also said, “And a second is like it. You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” (Matthew 22 :
39)

hate as a part of love. However, mercy is the basis of Buddhism and contains the qualities of affection,
compassion and sympathy.
