    The removal of life's suffering broke a unity for Siddhartha, he believes you must balance the yin and yang. A life of salvation doesn't bring knowledge for those who thirst for it (Siddhartha), it can only reconcile suffering to bring happiness in the mist of religion.

    In modern times religion and science are increasingly becoming viewed as incompatible, or at least non-overlapping. Damien Keown states that “Scientific discoveries, and theories such as evolution, have challenged many traditional Christian teachings…” at the expense of making them appear “...dogmatic, irrational, and backward-looking” (119). Despite its brief history in the West, Buddhism has gained increasing popularity in part due to its frequent portrayal as an exception to the conflict between scientific and spiritual thought. Proponents of this view—deemed “Buddhist Modernists” or “Secular Buddhists”—argue that Buddhism possesses certain qualities which make it compatible with a secular view of the world, while providing a source of purpose…

After attending Buddha’s Seminars Siddhartha set out to talk to the Buddha. He wanted to tell the buddha that there was a flaw in his teachings. “ And yet according to your own doctrine this unity and consequentiality of all things is interpreted in one place: through a small gap there flows into the unified world something strange to it, something new, something that did not previously exist, and that cannot be shown or prove:it is your doctrine of overcoming the world of salvation.

    At first glance, Buddhism and Catholicism might seem to be as unlike as any two religions can possibly be. In some sense, this statement is correct. Originating from northern India, Buddhism views the rights and role of women in their society in much differently than Catholicism, which grants its roots from Judaism and was created in the now non-existent Roman Empire. The typical modern-day Catholic may assume that Buddhism holds its female population in a lower regard than their own religion, but according to some theological experts, this has been proven opposite. As dissimilar as these religions may seem, they do share some common elements, but their variances greatly outweigh this factor.…

    Jesus uses Christianity to tell those who believe in Christ that everyone is presented only one chance to live and once this chance is over the journey to the afterlife begins. Jesus also wants them to know that how they live their lives is up to them but requests one thing and that is to praise God. Controversially, Buddha uses Buddhism to tell those that believe in Buddhism that they may have to go through multiple lives to reach the afterlife. The reason for experiencing life more than once for those that believe in Buddhism is because they must achieve nirvana. Nirvana is achieved when a believer of Buddhism has done what they were put here in this world to do and Buddha believed in this as well as his followers.…
