What are some of the fundamental differences you perceived? Besides the fact that Hinduism has no founder, and Siddhartha Gautama being the founder of Buddhism, a big difference between the two is that Hinduism is more spiritually directed but Buddhism is more focused on the practice. Also, the final destination for Hindu’s is a spiritual ending, but Buddhists, since they believe in life being an illusion, believe in the final ending is a void.

Hinduism and Buddism: Subtopic: How do Buddhist and Hindu's view of liberation reflect their religious beliefs of the people? Thesis: Although the final goals for Hinduism and Buddhism: moksha and nirvana are similar, the Buddhists reject the sacrifices and caste system in Hinduism in order to reach the goal. The Buddhist reject the Hindus’ belief of Brahman and atman. The Hindus believe all of our soul (atman) is part of Brahmin. Brahmin also created every atman.
Jesus Christ in Buddhism Buddha deliberately avoided any statements about the existence or nonexistence of God. In this context the question "how Buddhists view Jesus Christ" would seem to be irrelevant, because Jesus Christ, according to Christian doctrine, is the complete and final revelation of the one true God. However, they are faithful to the teachings of Buddhism Buddhists, trying to overcome these difficulties. This short article is an attempt to present a teaching Masao Abe, a representative of the tradition of Buddhism "Mahayana" (lit.

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.

They both lead lives as wandering Samanas, self-exiles of society living in self-denial. They suppress all bodily desires by fasting, breathing control, and living in poverty; only the natural world is embraced as truth, and meditation is practiced regularly. After three years, Siddhartha grows weary of this life, too, and decides to accompany Govinda to visit the Buddha in Savathi. Govinda becomes a disciple of Buddha while Siddhartha continues his journey alone, still wishing to understand the world for himself since all teachings have failed to accomplish this, including the ancient beliefs of the Hindus and this new religion of Buddha. However, Siddhartha wishes to have the enlightenment that Buddha has attained by listening to the voice of his Self instead of denying it.
Siddhartha learns from the time he is a child to meditate, and knows how to identify Atman (at this stage in his life, inner quiet) within himself. But Siddhartha recognizes one key fact: no Brahmin has ever reached Nirvana. He realizes that if Nirvana is a sense of oneness with Atman, then the path to Nirvana must lead inward to the mind, and the quiet truth that lies there, unhindered by the trials and tribulations of the mortal world. He concludes that he must rid himself of all worldly distractions, including the life of the Brahmins, and decides to join the Samanas, a group of ascetics that chose to isolate themselves from society and worldly pleasures, including any more food or clothing than necessary, in order to focus on

In the book, Effective Biblical Counseling: A Model for Helping Caring Christians Become Capable Counselors, Lawrence J Crabb, Jr. (1977), explains in detail what is required to be an effective Christian counselor. Crabb states the goal of Christian counseling is to promote maturity among Christians (Crabb, 1977, p 22-23).
Buddhists are more concerned with the road to enlightenment, a state of being. Buddhism is a hands-on discipline that advises you not to take it on trust, it says to come and see for yourself. Buddhism grew from the story of a man who lived 2,500 years ago and, through his learning and subsequent teachings, left a legacy to the
