God's House.

"'In my Father's house there are many dwelling places.'" John 14:2 (NRSV)

Heaven, Paradise, The Pure Land, Olympus, Valhalla, Asgard, The Elysian Fields, the Abode of the Blessed, The Abode of the Ancestors, the Happy Hunting Ground.....

All these concepts refer to the place where God lives.

And all the world's religions ascribe to it: peace, light, beauty, tranquility, and happiness.

Buddhists experience glimpses of it in meditation; as do yogis, mystics, prophets, and poets.

It is all one place.

The abode of the One Living God.

"'In my Father's house there are many dwelling places.'"  John 14:2 (NRSV)
