Faith & Trust
Trusting in something greater than oneself — whether God, dharma, or the nature of reality — is the foundation of religious life. The Bible speaks of emunah (faithfulness), the Quran of iman (belief), the Gita of shraddha (trust), and Buddhism of saddha (confidence in the teaching). Each tradition explores what it means to lean into the unseen.
