In Christianity there are the "Ten Commandments," in Hinduism there are the "Eight Limbs of Yoga," and in Buddhism there are the "Four Noble Truths" which eventually describe the "Eight Fold Path." All of which describe the ideal path of enlightenment. The former truly represents how these religions are alike. It seems that the more I interpret different faiths, the more I find that almost each and everyone thus far has had the same moral beliefs, including truth, loyalty and compassion.All in all, I have discovered that though Buddhism and Hinduism might have many different beliefs and origins there are many similarities as well.

I am looking forward to duelving into the beliefs that so many others hold, and dissecting them if need be. Perhaps it will be me who finds a new faith by the end of the semester; or at the very least a stronger understanding of why I have chosen to remain with out a particular one....
