In Buddhism, unlike Hinduism, there is no “soul”-both the body and the idea of a soul distract from the proper meditation and attainment of nirvana (Leming & Dickinson, 387). During and after the funeral, family members will make offerings through the priests to the spirit of the deceased. When a typical Buddhist person dies, the body is cleaned, dressed, and placed in a casket. The casket is kept either within the home or at the temple for a period of three days.…

You can see these similarities and differences in Shinto and Native American religions if you look at their concept of gods and the rituals they have to worship said gods.…

Finally, the Palestinian and Israeli conflict that started after the retreat of western imperialism, as well as…
