Siddhartha found out that every living thing inevitable sufferings. The only way to escape from suffering is to reach nirvana, to have a peaceful mind and fully understanding. Which literally means “extinct.” He found that no matter how some people prayed for the “God,” the God seemed to have done nothing for the people. The suffering cannot be avoided by just praying to god. So we’ll have to escape the sufferings ourselves.
Hindus believe there is one supreme unifying force that creates, protects and preserves. There are many gods and deities in the Hindu religion, but they are all different facets of the one being. A person must be born a Hindu, they cannot be converted. A person must live a good life and practice kindness and charity in order to attain the ultimate reward. The goal is that by joining with the supreme being.
Artha is idea of prosperity or success in one’s worldly pursuits. Kama primarily refers to pleasure and is often remembered for the Kama Sutra; but I am not going to get into that. Moksha is the ultimate end of every Hindu’s life. It is the spiritual goal.

Hindu’s also believe everyone has an atman, a soul, where as Buddhists believe there is no
SIKHISM * Belief in a power (i.e GOD) * A good life is lived as part of a community, by living honestly and caring for others * Empty religious rituals and superstitions have no value * Sikhs focus their lives around their relationship with God, and being a part of the Sikh community.

In Buddhist teachings, the existence of a personal creator and Lord is denied but Christianity believes in a creator and each may have a relationship with the creator, Jesus. According to Buddhist belief, human life is not considered to have much worth and having only temporary existence. Life is understood in such a way in getting rid of all desire (good and bad) and not placing any value on this life on earth. In Christianity people are of infinite worth, made in the Image of God and will exist eternally. Buddhism is not really a religion but a moral philosophy designed to overcome suffering and it was designed to obtain relief from suffering by means of human effort alone.
