  • The names of Christian, Jewish and Muslim scriptures.

  • Hindus generally believe that God created the world and is within every living thing.

  • Many Hindu people follow the principle of 'ahimsa' (harmlessness) as a way of life.

  • Stories can help people from many worldviews think about how to care for others and the world.
