"BIG" QUESTIONS!

The three questions that I choose to write about is:
1. What is ultimate reality/God?
2. What is the nature of a person?
3. What happens to us after death?

Hinduism-

Hindus practice devotion of a single god. Even thought there devotion is to one god they still believe in other gods and except the belief of other gods and have the choice of devotion. Most Hindus believe in the spirit called the Atman. the soul called "true self" of each person. The nature of the person is to perform what ever caste you are in to the best of your ability. you must practice samsara, dharma, different yogas, and moksha. The Hindus believe that we are born into a different caste system. Depending on our duties and our behavior we will move up or down in the caste system. Rebirth is a good thing to the Hindus.

Jainism-

Jains see's God as the unchanging traits in the soul of each living person. Also known as infinite knowledge, happiness, consciousness, and perceptive. Jains don't believe in a creator or a person in charge, or supreme being. they believe in an eternal universe ruled by the natural laws. The nature of a Jain is that you must be spiritual independent and treat life with equality. you must practice non-violence to all life forms. Jains must have self control. they believe every person has eternal souls and each person is responsible for there own actions and all souls are equal. they believe we should live, act, and think with respect and honor life and the spiritual nature of all life. Jains strongly believe in karma when you die. they go by the logic "you reap what you sow". a happy life or miserable life is based on your actions in previous births.

Buddhism-

There altimate God is a statue figure called Buddha. He was a person who was born to a wealthy family. His father was a king and he didn't want to live in wealth. He went on to find himself and he is the creator of Buddhism. They prey to a god called Buddha, even thought he didn't think he was a god, nor did he act like it before his death. The purpose of human life is to achieve salvation. People have to stay clear of karma because the Buddhist believe all people in the world are subjected to laws of karma. they believe in rebirth. the Buddhist believe when they die they move on to the next body. the more positive you are the less karma you will have. rebirth is a bad thing with the Buddhist. If you die with karma you will be reborn into the world to suffer.

Sikhism-

God is formless,unobserved, and external. Sikhs must develop a relationship and faith in god to achieve salvation in life. the nature of a Sikh is to follow the ten Sikh gurus also known as the enlightened leaders and to read the holy scripture.
