The people of the past often said that the law of the world is not the Law of the Universe (Buddhist truth), though the Law of the Universe is the law of the world. This means that, though the Law of the Universe is much more than the law of the world, it cannot exist apart from it. The Law of the Universe guides the law of the world in the way that it should follow, and only under such conditions does the law of the world have value and significance. In this sense, the Law of the Universe is not limited to Buddhism or any single religion. (Page 156)
