This week in Religions of the World we began to learn about Buddhism. Most people know of Buddhism being some old fat man, meditating and happy. But little people know that that happiness is not reached, until nirvana is reached. You have to go through the suffering in life, before you can even think about happiness. What I like about this religion so far is that they focus on karma. Karma as you might know, is the belief that whatever your actions are, you will get a similar action in return. An example would be if you were generous, something good is going to happen to you in either this life, or your next. Now not every believer in karma is a believer of an afterlife. Buddhists believe that you go through a cycle of rebirth to death to rebirth again. But a rebirth does not automatically make you a human in your next life. Your actions will decide what you become out of the six different realms of rebirth. If you do good things in this life, you could be a human, or even a titan in your next life. But if you have bad karma, and are greedy, and selfless, you make be a hungry ghost, or even worse a hell being. Buddhism so far has been a very interesting thing to learn, I definitely recommend everyone to take a look at it.
