Summary:
Describes the religion of Hinduism. Examines its history and evolution. Relates it to the practice of yoga.
Since Hinduism and Buddhism have been around since the B.C. years, doesn't mean that they don't have anything in common if you think about it. Which brings me too my next point they both practice meditation, Hinduism has a type of meditation called yoga; yoga is a physical and mental type of meditation. We also still practice yoga today. And Buddhism has just meditation which is the practice of loosing your mind and a form of relaxing also used to think straighter. Meditation is a big part of both their way of religion. The Hinduism also believed in rebirth as well as the Buddhists they both used the term reincarnation which they believed meant an after life. The symbol of Hinduism or beliefs is on a sculpture called Siva. Like Hinduism Buddhism has Buddha or the enlighten one. Because of these symbols it causes for celebrations like Buddha's birthday, or the festival of lights.
Known by me and you religions seem to travel through immigration, but these two have stayed in Asia for awhile. But now in year 2004 an astonishing amount of Hinduisms and Buddhist have moved because of immigration. These numbers though just don't stop because the tradition of religion is still live and well.
Though there is a provoking amount of things Buddhism and Hinduism relate in, there are also things that they brawl in like. Buddhism peoples timing they did not start there own religion until 800 A.D. after Hinduism! Now I know why Buddhism came so popular at that time was is if you believed in the religion of Hinduism then only if you were a philosopher or leader you could give ideas or opinions. But because of this they were much more organized with there systems like the caste system, but the Buddhism believed that this system would cause self desire and human suffering that is why they did not use it. The Hinduism believed in shahs and swamis just as a christen would for a priest as well to a Buddhist to a stripe or monk. After I have told you all this information you are probably wondering how I know or how any one knows. How we found out was from the Hinduism people who wrote down things called hymns. The Buddhism did not leave bunches of information but we do know they were more sophisticated people with their laws or as they called them edicts. It is amazing that all this was started just by the origin names Buddhism and Hinduism! This is my report on how Hinduism and Buddhism can have some things in common and other things not.
