Both religions are practiced in Southeast Asia, starting in India and have influenced each other. Hinduism dates back to 5,000 years ago, while Buddhism was created three centuries ago. I will explore what the two religions share and what separates the two from one another covering the origins, number of followers, the texts used, and the belief system followed.
It was as if the sky was on fire. Red and orange flames painted over the once clear blue canvas and burned. Fog enclosed the area like smoke and ash. No one would bother to notice the sun, weary from burning high in the atmosphere begin to settle. November was coming. Shorter days were creeping up on them. Cold air would soon envelop the region and the year would repeat itself.
The Dharmic religions are a set of complex, unique religions that have formed in the Indian subcontinent. While these religions are unique, there are a lot of similarities between the three. All three religions consider the concept of karma, although it may have different definitions, they believe one participates in the cycle of death and rebirth. There are also similarities with Supreme Beings, while Jains do not believe in a Supreme Being, both Hinduism and Buddhism do.
The practice Hinduism poses some interesting questions for anthropologists, its is fairly unique in comparison to the other worlds religions, and interestingly there is no founding fire. Furthermore, there is no single religious text or scripture and its dogma is not centered around one singular omnipotent deity. Hinduism does not subscribe to a singular moral code and there is no internal structure or centralized institutions. Because of this, anthropologists,and the general public alike, have a hard time imagining Hinduism as a religious system. In order to gain a better understanding of Hinduism, scholars have relied on a wide variety of texts and historical events from the South Asian cultures. It has become necessary to engage in
The stupa, an engineering structure ordinarily lodging the cremated remains or belonging of essential righteous figures, is thought to be the auxiliary image and the most imperative sort of landmark of Buddhism. Most stupas have an extremely unmistakable semi-round shape, regularly encompassed by a wall.

One may expect a lot of different reactions when going to your first performance art exhibition. You may have prepared yourself to be taken aback by these performances. One may imagine each of these performances were still acted out by the artists. As you receive your ticket, sticker and your bag checked you are greeted by a huge sign that indicated the start of the exhibition. Radical Presence it reads, with lower case capital letters and uppercased vowels. It is interesting that the wall installation that says the title of the exhibition is itself a part of it. The title and how it was designed evoked a sense of presence for minor letters that are vowels. It could be interpreted that these vowels represent racial minorities as the exhibition

"Hinduism is more closely related to being a philosophy than to being an organized religion. Unlike most other religions, Hinduism has no founder, creed, unified system of belief, doctrine of salvation, centralized authority figure and no difference between its secular and sacred views, causing it to follow along more in the direction of a lifestyle than a practice. While there are deities within the religion, followers are not particularly bound to any individual one. Two of the major principles that guides Hindus are Brahman – the force that cycles through and controls every aspect of life and insists that each individual life impacts the universe and vice versa – and karma – the negative actions that your atman (self) picks up and carries
Nike has been accused of the unfair labor practice of sweatshop labor. A sweatshop is a place with hazardous working environments, extreme temperatures and abusive employers, hence the term sweat shop. Sweatshop workers work long days exceeding 14 hours and earn less than the living wage (Britanica, n.d.). While these conditions may be shocking to Americans and Modern Western Nations the notion of abusive working conditions is more attractive to Asians and South Americans who are faced with the stark choice of terrible working conditions or unemployment and possible death by starvation. The accusation then is that Nike is using these labor condition inequalities to take unethical
Another aspect of the Jainism religion is Karma. As mentioned above with Hinduism, Karma is a popular concept within the Dharmic religions. As the textbook mentions, “Jains believe that the universe is without beginning and that it has no creator or destroyer.” This religion is different from the other Dharmic religions in this concept. Both Hinduism and Buddhism believe in a Supreme Being, yet Jainism does not as they feel there is no need to. Due to the belief of no Supreme Being, Jain’s believe one’s choices and afterlife is determined by our deeds and how one acts in their current life. The Jain definition of Karma is a “subtle matter or particles that accumulated on the soul as a result of one’s thoughts and actions.” Until one frees himself
