The Mosaic Of Buddhism And Judaism

Buddhism and Christianity came about before 600 C.E. and reformed the ideals of social structure and society of their era. Both the Buddha and Christ taught during a large political collapse, focusing on the spirituality and morality of a person in society. These like monotheistic religious views both had a central doctrine but held different positions on how to acquire this truth. Buddhist and Christians teachings both challenged social norms by preaching equality among all both in gender and in statues. Buddhism and Christianity, before 600 C.E. similarly, influenced social structures by introducing social and gender equality, promoted classless beliefs systems, and an emphasis on compassion, in contrast, Christianity held political power and leadership, while Buddhism had no political authority.

One of the most early religions are Judaism and Buddhism. Both Judaism and Buddhism have lots of differences beliefs and practices and only few similarities. Judaism was started in 2000 B.C.E, led by Abraham. Buddhism was started in 560 B.C.E, by Siddhartha Gautama. Both religions have different point of view. Buddhism don’t believe in deity and Judaism believe in deity. Buddhism are just followers of Gautama and Judaism believe in Yahweh (the God Abraham believed in). It is important to know all this because it tells us when the religions were started and how different they are from one another.

Two of the most widely practiced religions around the world today are Christianity and Buddhism. However, they did not start off with such a large following. Christianity, was a small cult that branched off of Judaism and was being strongly prosecuted against. Buddhism was just a single person trying to find a reason for and an end to the universal suffering that he had just newly encountered. Even though the following of Christianity and Buddhism had started off small, by developing their core beliefs as rejections of Judaism and Hinduism, they were able to better fascinate and convert others.

When growing up us as humans are given the right to choose what religion we want to follow. There are tons of different religions in this world. Many of these religions have similarities, but also quite a few differences. The two religions that will be discussed in this paper are Christianity and Buddhism. Two religions that worship one person, but in different ways.

Buddhism, Christianity, and the Prospects for World Religion: Criticism on Dalai Lama’s Interview by Jose Ignacio Cabezon

Biblical covenant is “legal term denoting a formal and legally binding declaration of benefits to be given by one party to another, with or without conditions attached.” (Arnold) Biblical covenant is a part of God holy plan and they reveal enteral plan. Each covenant plays a part of God plan of salvation. The Mosaic covenant showed that being saved by works was impossible and reveals God’s Holy character the need of a savior. “The Mosaic Covenant was like the vassal treaties of the ancient Near East, where a more powerful king entered into a relationship with a lesser king.” Knowing the Bible)

In the world today, there are dozens of religions that have spread all over to many parts of the world to promote their idea of spiritual enlightenment and peace. One of the interesting things that occurs with some of these religions is after it spreads to a new area, how it becomes popular with the people and becomes a part of everyday life. The religion of Buddhism is one of these that had this effect when it began to spread from India where it originated, to many Asian countries especially China where it would have the biggest impact. In China, Buddhism would take root and would grow to become a popular religion in the country much like the other major religions of China, Confucianism and Taoism, which together with Buddhism would later be known as the “Three Teachings”. Additionally, at some point Buddhism would began to lose its popularity in India due to Hinduism, which had absorbed some of the features of Buddhism and another famous religion from India Jainism, in order to re-emergence as the major religion of India. In China, this would not be the case, as it would continue to grow and remain strong long after it fell out of popularity in India. This study will explore some of the ways of how Buddhism was able to prosper and survive longer in China where in India it was only able to last until Hinduism re-remerged as the major religion for India.

Introduction: Hinduism is the “oldest organized religion” in the world (Chackal Hinduism 1). It began in the Indus Valley in 1500 BCE. There are four main braches of Hinduism: Shaivites, Vaishnavites, Shaktas, and Smarthas. Buddhism was born out of Hinduism in the fourth century BCE. There are two main types of Buddhism: Theravada and Mahayana.

The covenants discussed in both Genesis and Exodus constitute one of the fundamental ideas in interpreting the Old Testament, indicating the several changes of method in God’s dealings with the earth, and how the relationship between man and God changed through time. God connected with man to create a covenant many times throughout these books, and failure to observe the terms of these compacts led to the utmost confusion and chaos. These covenants are an important pact between Gods relation with man, and did much to shape the development of the Judeo-Christian approach to the divine. As depicted in many covenants throughout Genesis and Exodus such as the Noahic, Abrahamic, and Mosaic Covenants, the ancient Hebrews would rely heavily on covenants

Due to the emergence of universal religions, a new idea known as syncretism started to emerge. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines the idea of syncretism as “the amalgamation or attempted amalgamation of different religions, cultures, or schools of thought.” (Merriam-Webster) However, in historical term, syncretism is defined as the accepted idea that was believed to enhance people’s willingness to adapt or adopt to a certain religion because of the appealing ideas. During the first millennium C.E, two universal religions, Buddhism and Christianity, primarily spread through the idea of syncretism, although, a secondary factor contributed to the spread of these religions, which were political rulers and religious representatives such as

This compares closely to the verse of Matthew 7:12, “Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them.” ( Robinson, B A.). Both are essentially meaning, treat another human being the same respectful way that you would want to be treated. The two religions also believe in helping another person that is in need. Both of their fundamental rules are similar, The Five Precepts of Buddhism are very similar to Ten Commandments.

The covenant was the Moses’ people will follow the 10 Commandments and they would be God’s ‘Chosen people’, will protect and look after them. Give them water, food ext. God also said that he will give them the Promised Land.

Buddhism and Christianity are very different religions. Buddhism is a nontheistic religion, whereas Christianity is a monotheistic religion. Nontheistic means that it does not believe in a supreme creator, whereas in Christianity it believes Christ is the son of God. Buddhism is branched off of Hinduism and is a Dharmic religion. Christianity is branched off of Judaism and is an Abrahamic religion. Buddhists worship in monasteries, temples, and shrines. They worship through meditation and the Eightfold Path. The Eightfold Path includes the right view, the right aspiration, the right speech, the right action, the right livelihood, the right effort, the right mindfulness, and the right concentration (Buddhism vs Christianity). Christians worship in churches, chapels, and cathedrals. They worship through prayer, sacraments, and communion. Buddhism was founded by the Buddha. Christianity was founded by Jesus Christ.
