(more info below to help you) Hinduism started in India and was largely based on the teachings of the Vedas, or holy ancient writings, that were found. Hindus are polytheist which means they worship many gods. There are three main ones though: Vishnu (preserver), Shiva (destroyer), and Brahma (creator). Hinduism is based around a society that is organized in a caste system (social hierarchy that you are born into), from Brahmin (priests) at the top to Dalit (untouchables) at the bottom. Hindus believe in a reincarnation process called Samsara. They believe that if you do your duty (dharma) in whatever caste you are born into and rack up enough karma (good works) points, then when you die, you will be reincarnated into a higher caste level. You work your way up the caste system through the process of Samsara until you achieve Moksha (or freedom from the reincarnation cycle) and become one with the Hindu gods (3 million of them). It is a works-based religion, but they often fight with other Hindus as well as Muslims over lifestyle, culture, and core beliefs. 5. What do Buddhists believe about suffering? Buddhism was founded by Siddhartha Gautama, a prince in India that questioned the meaning of life. One day, he was meditating under a Buddhi tree, when he came to a revelation, which he later called the Three Noble Truths: 1) All suffering is caused by desire. 2) To get rid of suffering, you have to get rid of desire. 3) The only way to get rid of desire was to follow the Eightfold Path (Right Intention, Right Mindfulness, etc). Then, you can achieve Nirvana, or this state of perfect peace. Buddhism spread through trade routes from India to China to Japan and other parts of Asia. It has been popularized today by the Western World and Hollywood through movies like “Star Wars.”
