    When the continuing-education division of an American university organized a one-day Buddhist retreat, more than a hundred students signed up within a few hours. What is the appeal of Buddhism, especially Buddhist meditation, for Westerners? Why do people who still identify themselves as Christians or Jews flock to Buddhist meditation sessions? What is it that has attracted so many Hollywood celebrities to Buddhism? To attempt to answer these questions, we need to review the 2,500-year history of Buddhism, its varieties, and its spread—first throughout Asia, then throughout the world.…

    The first difference of the Christian church is the split of the Roman Catholic Church into Protestant and Catholic beliefs. Protestants belief is that the Bible is the sole authority unlike for the Catholics, which believe it is run by the Pope. Marriage is another factor in the role of the split. Roman Catholics believe that a priest is not to be married, whereas a Protestant preacher can be married at any time during his ministry. Although there are many differences between the two religions, the main point is that the Catholics believe in transubstantiation, or the full presence of God in the Eucharist. The second difference within Christianity is the motives for conversions around the globe. For example the reason for Prince Vladimir of Kiev’s conversion to the Eastern Orthodox Church was because of the beautiful churches and the ability to drink alcohol. Moscow later becomes the head quarter of the Christian Church. The reason for the Kongo and Brazil becoming Christian was the forced act from the Portuguese, during their enslavement. Like the Portuguese the Spanish forcefully converted man people in South America, however they were not enslaved. In Europe Christianity was popular in times of distress and trouble. Lastly, the amount of converts fluctuated in different regions. In Japan, 300,000 people converted to Christianity. On the other hand in in China, the…

    There are many different religions in the world but they all seem to have at least one thing in common. This unique aspect in similarity is the relationship that can be established with the divine being if we choose to follow or lead in their way of life. Many religions seem to establish the idea that God or gods are here to guide us through our lives as our supreme rulers and enforcers of the law. But, in contrast the presence of a divine spirit is to give man the final decision on the choices he must make to continue in a path of righteousness. The relation of god and man in western religion is denoted by the freedom of choice given to him by God. God gives every man the freedom to choose him or reject him; he permits mankind to be tempted by sin in order to challenge the loyalty they have for their supreme.…
