Buddhists achieved their end path after all suffering was endured and one has come in control of every action and thought, only then could the ultimate happiness and paradise in nirvana be reached. Daoists searched for the first cause of the universe to which all souls belonged to, came from, and could return to after the ultimate control and balance was reached. Daoism and Buddhism were intrinsically similar in many ways. Mainly because of a lack of concern for politics, government, and earthly ordering of people at a socially significant level, both religions' main focus and teaching was the balance and harmony for all people in a natural way and in one's own mind. Their afterlife, so to speak, was different in the belief that individual happiness and peace was the end path for Buddhists, while Daoists wanted to remain and become once again to the continuity of the universe and all life and not as human
That is now my goal in life, to inspire people just as Jim did. To bring an enthusiasm for life each and every day. It does not require supreme intelligence or material items. It requires a choice every morning to be the best I can be. Jim emphasized an “enthusiasm for life,” and showed it through his everyday energy and passion for others.
There are a wide variety of beliefs and practices in modern day Wicca but there are a few basic points and principles that remain the same throughout different Wiccan beliefs. The first belief is that everyone has the divine within them and in turn with meditation and visualization one can tap into that energy and focus to become in touch with the natural gifts one possesses. Rituals and celebrations also help to bring one closer with his or her natural gifts and these events usually take place over the seasons and moon’s phases. Each Wiccan will take his or her own spiritual journey to build one’s personal relationship with the divine, the divine referring to the spiritual aspect of the Earth or the Mother Goddess. Wiccans use spells in rituals to help bring about the things they want.
Both believe in one ruler over all, both believe in a good place (heaven) and bad place (hell) after death, and both believe in guidance through spiritual leaders(prophets), to name a few. Another reason I believe Natives practices have not been abandon is because their culture is inextricably linked and connected with Mother Earth. The land, the plants, the animals, and all around contain their culture, spirit, and identity; all working together to create a balance of harmony (Page 68). How can a culture’s spiritual identity gets lost when it is rooted into everything living and non-living? Lastly, spirituality was designed without written rules to be edited and manipulated, without limits and boundaries, without segregation and prejudice.
Samudaya is the second noble truth and teaches about the four types of Tanha. Kama-tanha is the thirst for sensual pleasures, craving for food, music ect. The second is bhava-tanha craving for becoming and existence. The second type of tanha is craving for fame, achievements and recognition. This type of craving is hard to stop as everyone has ambitions and ideas for the future but we are not to let these ideas control our life because if we do we will not live life but pass through it trying to reach our goals.
The soul goes through cycles of births and deaths before it reaches the human form. The goal of our life is to lead an exemplary existence so that one may merge with God. Sikhs should remember God at all times and practice living a virtuous and truthful life while maintaining a balance between their spiritual obligations and temporal obligations. The true path to achieving salvation and merging with God does not require renunciation of the world or celibacy, but living the life of a householder, earning a honest living and avoiding worldly temptations and sins. Sikhism condemns blind rituals such as fasting, visiting places of pilgrimage, superstitions, worship of
It is viewed more as an attitudinal or philosophical approach to counseling rather than a theory of therapy because it is loosely based on existential philosophy and it is not tied to any particular therapeutic technique (Sharf, 2004). Broadly defined, existential therapy encourages clients to develop a full comprehension of their personal meaning of life and purpose of existence in the universe (Frankl, 1997; Yalom, 1980). It is suggested that a counselor develop his or her own

Hinduism is not a single religious faith system because it does not insist on any fixed set of doctrines. There are a variety of religious sects or traditions in Hinduism. However, in spite of this diversity, there is a unity among all the doctrines and schools of thought because their basic principles are based on the 'eternal laws of nature' which can be rightly defined as Sanatana (eternal) Dharma (laws of nature).
