The Buddha and Mahavira, the founders, both taught different sets of beliefs, and offered followers assistance on how to end the negative feelings that cause humans to suffer. Both Jainism and Theravada Buddhism hold many similarities and differences; yet, they have a very important place in history and are extremely important to humanity for their beliefs and teachings. Jainism originated in India during the sixth century BCE. The faith is named after the jinas, spiritual conquerors who have achieved liberation. Jainism looks to a series of founding figures, Tirthankaras, the twenty-four spiritual leaders called ford-makers or river crossers.
It is clear that he does not even care for his wife’s health; she is just a mediator between him and his son, who he could pass on the inheritance and his name to.

The concept of eternal living is clearly important to both these characters.
The 1998 movie Smoke Signals focuses on the process of how Victor Joseph accepts and forgives his father, Arnold Joseph. From the beginning, Victor is uncertain about his father’s feelings about him because Victor has heard his father Arnold has saved Thomas, not Victor. Every time Victor hears it, his uncertainty about his father Arnold increases regularly. Victor’s feeling of lack of the father’s love is well illustrated by Victor’s answer to his father’s question: “What is your favorite Indian?” He answers “nobody,” and repeats it three times to emphasize his distrustfulness on his father. Victor’s feeling of the lack of his father’s love is more deepened after his father Arnold has left home.
Shiva and Vishnu were the most favored deities in Khmer-style Hinduism (Duiker 244). That still begs the question however how did Hinduism reach the Khmer empire in the first place? Hinduism’s origins within this area can be traced back to the previous kingdoms of Funan and Chen-La.
