Buddhism has diverged into three main schools: Theravada, Mahayana, and Vajrayana but they do share a set of common beliefs that everything in world is impermanent (Anicca) but when they die they will be continuously reborn (Samsara) unless they have reached a state of enlightenment which is also known as Nirvana. Everyone is a part of everything including life’s impermanence (Anatta). To reach this state a Buddhist must acknowledge the Three Jewels which are the Buddha who is the teacher, the Dharma which are his teachings and the Sangha which is the Buddhist community. The path to Nirvana is the cultivation of good conduct (Shila), Mindfulness (Samadhi) and Wisdom (Prajna).

By Focusing on two different religions like Hinduism and Buddhism I would like to highlight the similarities and contrasts in the definition of the terms between the two religions, their adherence to the doctrine and the path through which a disciple has to go through to accomplish the goal of achieving Nirvana in Buddhism and Moksa is Hinduism. I will be using the term dharma and dhamma interchangeably likewise for karma and kamma.} Dharma is defined differently in Hinduism and Buddhism. Although, meaning of the word dhamma in Buddhism is difficult to narrow down.

Buddhism and Hindrances At their core, Gautham Buddha's teachings are a prescription for ethical conduct in the world. By cultivating wisdom you minimize harm to yourself and the people and planet around you. By embracing meditation, you find a path to find peace in the midst of everyday chaos and a world riddled with uncertainty.

Olcott had his own set of ideas of how Buddhism should be practised and felt a need to ‘restore ‘true’ Buddism’ (Introducing Religions, 2005, 14).

It is important to identify and understand the way they study it, not assume that because their practices don’t conform to our way of thinking, that other ways are wrong.
