Tasha Wright May 29, 2012 Hum/130 Hinduism Paper Hinduism lacks a uniting belief system, however it’s spiritual texts and different of practice it balances out. Hindu was made up on a belief of one God, by a lesser powerful duties that very important aspects of life and it was made up in living to see the liberation of Samsara. I would say those societal influences on Hinduism vital that made it a region and the location where it had originated. However there are some beliefs that Hindus share and they are “one, all=pervasive supreme begin who is both immanent and transcendent, both creator and unmanifest reality. They also believe in divinity of the four Vedas, and that the universe undergoes endless cycles of creation,
Understanding this, it would seem to be a dualistic relationship between the body and the atman and there are two separate substances. In most religions which feature reincarnation, however, there is often a monistic (there is just one sacred substance) approach and this is the same for Hinduism. This is where the idea of Brahman is brought in; that all is one and
Additionally, both believe in the spiritual practices such as meditation, yoga, concentration, and cultivation of states of mind, called mindfulness. While Hinduism and Buddhism share similarities, they also celebrate differences; Hinduism is not founded by any particular prophet and Buddhism was founded by Buddha and Buddhists do not believe in the existence of souls like Hindus, neither do they believe in the sacred texts of the Vedas or any other Hindu scripture. Refuge in the Buddha, the Sangha and Dhamma are the three fundamental requirements of the eight fold path while Hinduism offers many choices to its followers for
The conclusion is that, although not identifying himself as a Buddhist for good reasons, Jesus spoke like a Buddhist. The similarities are so striking that, even if no historical evidence existed, we can suspect that Jesus studied Buddhist teachings and that the prophecy and legend of Jesus was derived from Buddhist stories. Some historical evidence, that we will look at, indicates that Jesus knew about Buddhism, simply because both he and it were in Judea during the same time. While other evidence, perhaps apocryphal, indicates that he spent most of his so-called lost years outside Judea, possibly in Kashmir. Archaically spelled Cashmere, Kashmir is the northwestern region of South Asia.
H.P Owen said that “it is impossible to conceive of a command without also thinking of a commander” which means that if there are moral laws, then there must a lawgiver who set them. Moral codes are based on religion and are compared to the standards set by religious teachings. Moral behaviour is judged on whether it agrees or disagrees with the teaching of God and religion, and this will determine whether it is to be considered right or wrong. For example, Evangelical Christians follow the teachings from the Bible, whereas Muslims base their morals on teachings of the Quran. Although there are different sources, morality all depends on teachings from religious sources of authority.
The below BIA created Blood Quantum calculation chart is used by the BIA to calculate a person’s degree of Indian blood, issuance of a BIA certified CDIB (Certificate of Degree of Indian Blood). Also, may be used by various Indian Tribal governments for enrollment into that Tribe. 'The BIA sets no minimum blood quantum requirement for acknowledgment purposes, but does require descent from a historic tribe. If your group decides to establish a blood quantum requirement for membership, that is your own decision. However, it is not required by the acknowledgment regulations."
That is to say, Buddhists believe that God and the universe are equal. Buddhist do not give respect to any type of personal god as creator, but in contrast see god as an impersonal being without any type of humanistic characteristics. This being said, Buddhist sees the world as not really having a beginning, that everything has always existed and “is a part of god” (Consider, 2013, p. 65). Furthermore, for a Buddhist, the goal is to reach a state of nothingness known as Nirvana. For this reason, “It is only the end of suffering” (Powell, 1989, p. 28), and could even be looked at “as a waste of time to think about where we came from” (Lefebvre, 2011).
While they may not agree in detail, they share fundamental similarities. He uses the example of “feeling oneness with the universe” to demonstrate that someone of the Christian or Jewish faith would account for the same feeling if they were raised in a Hindu or Buddhist tradition. If it were so that they felt a connection with the Earth that would not have changed based on a persons lineage. His second example shows that specific religious beliefs influence these kind of experiences due to an ethnocentric view of religious ideology. According to Broad, "If it is a tradition in a certain religion that one can communicate with saints in that religion, mystics will seem to see and to talk with saints in their mystical
Buddhism does not believe in the existence of souls as well in the first cause, who we call God. Hinduism believes in Atman, that is the soul and Brahman, the Supreme Being. Hindus also believe in the 4 ashramas or stages in life. This is not followed in Buddhism. People can join the
On the other hand its weakness is that human can affect it in other aspects besides deathless and birth less nature but in definition they do not recognize that. Prominence over human welfare and determinative nature regarding human experience –since both deal with human then they can be combined. The strength is that it when we put our lives according to the sacred we are likely to live a life free of problem associated to ungodliness. On the other hand it is important to perceive the true reality that underlies our religion .If we don’t do so we are likely to suffer and destroy what is already positive about our religion hence suffering. In that case religion will be the dividing factor instead of a bonding factor as it should
